Input on putting rear F350 leaf springs in the back of my F150

I've put F350 springs in an F250. I had to get different driveshafts, shocks, and the stock Ubolts were JUST long enough. The ride even from the 3/4 ton to the 1 ton suspension really stiffened up noticeably. Im guessing that you may end up with about 6 inches of lift maybe? I got 4 inches of lift on a 3/4 ton so it must be a hair more.

How about this?
But in all seriousness, don't forget putting a 1 ton spring pack, sure it might give you more loading capacity, but then again not really. You still have the rather weak half ton semi-floating 8.8" axle witch is no bullet proof axle...
Plus, F250/350 springs are an inch wider.
I drove a long time ago a boxless F350 with a bigger leaf pack than my motorhome in that pic, and I swear I ran over a dime and can tell what date was on it!

The only difference between the rear suspension of a f250 and F350 is the 2.5" block on a F250 and 4" block on a f350. Both a 5 leaf springs
THAT IS IT. NOTHING ELSE
And to the OP, unless you want to add weight carrying capacity to your F150 you would be foolish to put 350 spring in. Ditch you F150 block(2") and put in a F350 block(4")

When I had my 95, I went to the junkyard and got some springs out of an F-250. They had 6 leaves in each side, mine had 5. Turns out I couldn't get the bolts out of the ends, so I dissected the leaf packs and added 2 leaves on each side. That gave me about 2.5" of lift. It rode like a hay wagon, but I filled the bed up completely with black dirt and it sat perfectly level.
I also had front coils out of an E-350 van and a 3" body lift. I had 35" tires on it.
