so the you think the only difference is the f350 springs are just stronger than
the f250 springs. im thinking i might us f250 springs on the front and just add a leaf
and blocks in the back with ladder bars.

I'm sure the 2 springs are identical dimesion wise. I think the difference is weight carrying capacity and ride height. With vehicle weight on them the f250 has a negative arch while the f350 springs are pretty much flat. A stock 350 sits a little higher than a stock 250.
hope this helps
