The 2wd F150 and 4wd F150 use the same frame. So the axles will bolt right in from the bronco. Using a bronco for a 4wd donor to convert a 2wd F150 to 4wd requires a couple extra considerations. The driveshaft is different, but can be custom made to the correct length. Also the bronco uses a wedge shaped block between the springs and axle, where a 4wd F150 uses a striaght 2" block.
2wd uses a 2.5" wide leaf, and 4wd uses a 3" wide leaf. These can be swapped, but it's not required. Simply getting the spacer blocks and ubolts from a F150 4wd and putting them in place will suffice, though you'll need the rear shocks and chassis to axle brake hose for a 4wd.
Other than those items, it's all pretty much a bolt in swap. Doing the same thing myself, with a bronco as the donor.

Have a quick read thru that.
