Question Leaf Spring

I was wondering if leaf springs off an f250 would fit on my f150?

Measure them. It will depend on over-all length, but most important, length between the mount points. You might be better off using an add-a-leaf kit if you're looking for heavier springs. Otherwise, direct replacements are not all that expensive.

IF you are set on it they will as long as your truck is a 4x4 cause 4x4's use a 3" wide leaf spring and that is what the F-250 use.

Have to check and make sure the length is still correct for mounting points. The arch could be different to allow for more load/less leafs etc.

They are same, on the light duty F-250's anyway, I had to help my dad do the rear springs on his 80 spray truck (4x4 f-150) and we used a set of springs off a light duty F-250 4x4 to replaced the ones that were sagged out and bent just before hangers on both sides.
