Your D50TTB hubs will go right on that axle making it SRW. As long as you get the F350 steering, the track bar and bracket, it'll be a bolt in swap. I'd recommend getting the F350 springs(much lower spring rate) along with the F350 dual cardan front driveshaft and front output yoke from it's transfer case.

99-02 Superduty springs should giv eyou better ride quality. 75F350 (Ed) probably knows the most about the superduty spring swap, so you might ask him about it.
I havn't tried them yet personally. (Keepin' my eye out for some lift springs!)

The SD springs have a different center pin location than the earlier leafs, and are a bit shorter in length. This means that the axle location will have to be addressed.
How do you intend to hang your leafs? Are you going to use a shackle reverse kit?
If you shackle revers the thing, you wont have to worry or even bother with a trac bar, as it will no longer be necessary.
How much additional height do you plan to increase?

Yes, you will need to relocate the hanger. It really isn't a big problem if your doing the shackle reversal as well because your putting new ones on. And shackle reversals can gain you around 2-4 inches of lift. It can vary depending on the kit. Most i've seen are around 4".
