The Super Duty axle is a leaf sprung Dana 50 front with unit bearings. While these are marginally better than the D44 that you have, it is still not a very desireable axle.
At any rate, either the front axle will have to be modified to accept coil springs and radius arms, or you will have to fab up some hangers and install leaf springs.
The rear is gravy, and will just about bolt right in. Driveshaft mods will have to be made, but these are pretty simple.
You will also have to change the wheels on your ride, since the new bolt pattern will be 8 lug, and the pattern is metric, so you will only run an 8 x 170mm bolt pattern.
The rear will be as strong as can be, and as long as you are not paying too much for the front axle, you could have a decent pair of axles.

it's out of a 2002 f250 super duty, I have front axel with leafs and brackets to mount them, shocks, sway bar and mounts, steering stuff and drive shaft, rear axel with springs, shocks, shackles and drive shaft, can also get transfer case if need be.....
also ... do the 5.4L triton and a regular 5.0L share the bell housing pattern?
in other words would the tranny out of the 02 f250 fit in my 94 f150?

sounds like a steal to me, D50 may not be desirable but it certainly is a step better than your ttb suspension plus the fact its a live axle and will handle way better off the pavement. for what it is i would keep the leaf spring setup instead of coils, thats what im running and honestly it has worked great for me.
pretty safe to say heres all the info you will need on swapping leafs into your f150:
