Front Leaf Spring Swap.

I have come across a nice pair of leaf springs on a 97 f-350. I was wondering if anyone knows if these will fit on my 89 F-250? I need some new one and I can get these for free. Is this swap possible? Thanks.

It's a direct bolt in and should net a small lift. The deisel springs have a stiffer rate than the gasser 350's if memory serves me right

I am pretty sure you will run in to camber issues, you made to get TTB drop brackets. The #50 springs are positive arch and most F250 springs I have seen are negative. So Im thinking it will lift it way to much to be able to adjust at the ball joint to get it right.
