I don't know about the newer leafs but the TTB and straight axle 350 leaves are definitely different.
My 250 leafs (and I assume yours, but am not sure) have a negative curve.
Though your diesel engine may be heavier and come with stronger springs.

The newer super duty springs are longer than the old body style.Both 250 and 350 springs are negative arch but I think the 350 springs are a tad different and will give your 250 a slight lift.I have had a few buddies who wanted to level their front ends out on their trucks so they took front springs off of a 78 250 and basically use those for a add a leaf.
