Leaf Springs?

I have a 2001 f150 supercrew 4x4 5.4L
and my question is can i go to a junkyard and grab a few leaf springs off of another f150 or f250 and add them to my truck?
I have a 6 " fabtech lift on mine with 33's tires and i had torqued the torsion bars up to add more lif but now it kinda sits slanted and i wanted to add some leaf springs to the rear. So is this possible?
Thanks Yall

anything is possible, but how are you going to adjust it? probalby sag due to age. Why not a pair of air shocks so you can add what pressure you want to get the lift you want.

I think he may be saying your truck is slanted because of the age of the springs they weakened a bit and dropped a weee bit.

why not try and add a leaf.
