I am referring to your overall diameter tire Heights...

A hybrid vehicle's rear springs will always be stiffer and slightly taller to compensate for the additional weight of the battery pack, compared to a non-hybrid vehicle. Will hybrid to a non-hybrid spring fit? It should, it's the same body.
What is the YMM and engine size? And I'll see if the springs are interchangeable. A vin works best.

If it's a 265/70R/16, then my overall tire height is 16" rim + 5.5" tire (2x70mm) = 21.5".

I don't get your math. use the numbers of the tire you are running in the parentheses…
Make sure you use a decimal point on your aspect ratio.
here is a tire size calculator:
(265) divided by 25.4 {= width}x (.70) x 2 + (16){= tire OD}
You essentially run a 31 x 10.50 inch tire
Stock is 30x9
they use these numbers as a rough estimate, very rarely do the numbers actually match height, and width.
A lot of 33 inch tires are actually 31 1/2… A lot of 35s are actually 33 1/2
I have friends who paid more money for 35 inch tires, but side-by-side no one would guess that mine are labeled 33. the visual difference is nominal.
this is all individual to manufacturer… A good website will actually tell you the tires OD, beyond what is molded into the sidewall
What do tires have to do with springs?

Are you not remembering your questions?
Go back a few a few posts
you asked what all things can effect ride height. I answered you. I asked if you had possibly bought shorter than stock tires to save money.
you said you were running oversize tires, and you put up some math formula
That is incorrect.
running tires that are 2 inches larger than stock, should raise your wheel wells to 36".
If you went back to stock size tires, your wheel well arch would be even lower…
Still leading me to believe you've got wrong parts.
"you said you were running oversize tires"
No, I said I have 265/70R/16 which is the size for this vehicle.
"If you went back to stock size tires, your wheel well arch would be even lower…"
The distance between tops of rear tire and wheel well arch is shorter.
" you've got wrong parts."
Ford no longer makes the springs.
Hi, sent you a PM! Thanks!

Incorrect.
I don't know where you are getting your info.
Look at the sticker on your door jamb, look up your vehicle on tire rack.
Stock size is 235/70/16, every trim level.
You may have bought it with oversized tires, but they are.
Perhaps previous owner had installed lift springs, and you have just gone back to stock height springs, believing you were stock.
that is the only answer that makes sense, my friend.
So, who makes lift springs?
