95 Lightning front springs in my 93 F250

I'm in the process of putting together a 1993 F250 2wd for daily driver duties. I'm planning on swapping in a set of front coils and a front swaybar off a 1995 Lightning to get the front end lowered (i don't believe a 2wd truck should sit this high). Has anyone been down this road before? It SHOULD be the same height as a standard Lightning, correct?

Would swapping in regular F150 2wd front springs lower it, but not as much as the L springs?

Lightning springs are 1.5" shorter than standard F150 springs.

As far as using them in a F250, I have no clue

i've currently got on the shelf: 95 Lightning springs, 87 F150 6 cyl springs (2wd), 95 F150 2wd 351w auto springs, the factory 92 F250 coils, and some mystery coils...

I also have an L swaybar and two standard front bars
