F250 springs on an F150? lift?

Would F250 springs lift the F150 about 2 inches? the coil spacers i was going to use wont fit right.

If they are the same length/width there is only one way to find out

the rear leaf springs are all exactly the same length and width, just different thicknesses!

i think even the front coils of 250's 2wd are the exact same as f150 4x4, but i am not sure!

only if you have a 4x4 150. The 2x has 2 1/2 inch wide rear springs while the 4x4 150/ Bronco have the same width (3") as the 250/350. Cutts is right, the 250 2x front coils are the same height as the 4x4 150. The 350 diesel coils I put in the front to replace the 250 springs already there gave me just under 2" additional lift.

i don't think anyone makes 2" lift springs but you can get an add-a-leaf! if you are wanting a whole new pack go to National Spring ($$$) and have them make you a set of custom springs!

best thing to do for the coils is get 2" spacers from daystar. they will give you the 2" lift you need without making the spring stiff.
