Simple Suspension Question

Hey all, I have a simple question regarding the 2WD twin I-Beam from suspension on the OBS trucks. Are the I-Beams from an F-150 the same as those on an F-350? Specifically the 1996 model year? Only reason I ask is because I'm wanting to add some presence to my truck and maybe give it that desert truck look, but cannot find extended beams specifically for the F-350, but they're everywhere for F-150. Considering that that truck widths are the same and the only difference are the front coils, I would imagine they are the same, however I am not 100% sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The F350 has the Dana 60 front which is a straight axle. Your F150 has the Dana 44 which is is TTB. Does that help?

No, that is not what the OP is asking for: "Hey all, I have a simple question regarding the 2WD twin I-Beam from suspension on the OBS trucks."

Beyond that I have no first hand experience to answer the opening question.
