Upgrades to E150 - Third Generation, 1986

I am beginning to upgrade and modify my late father's old 1986 Ford E150 cargo van into a camper. Looking towards the possibility of improving it's weight handling, I am wondering if the rear axle and springs of an E250 or E350 will fit the E150 frame? Simple swap in or does it require major surgery? It has the 300CI straight six engine with auto trans.
Thanks for any advice.
