There are sway bar drop kits out there. I believe that jack-it has them, but other companies may as well.

Everything you mentioned sounds like it should work together with out a problem.
The only thing you would need to do, to keep the sway bars would be to lengthen the drop links that go from the frames to the sway bar itself.
A 77.5 F-250 should be able to clear 38s with less than a 6" lift, someone else might be able to confirm this, but if not, ask that question in the offroad forum.
