spring swap

heh everybody im looking to lift my 79 f150 aometime in the future. My cousin has a 2005 f-250 super duty that he lifted 6 inches and he said that if i used the stock springs off his truck on mine that it would lift it. Would they even fit? if they would fit any idea how much lift? and would i have to change a bunch of sterring stuff besides normal stuff like pitman arm, radius arm drop brackets and track bar brackets?
