Spring swap
Just wondering if you guys know if the springs (Front coils and rear leafs) from my F250 2WD (the 95) fir under my F150 4X4 (also a 95). Cause I assume I would steal need my 2 inch lift block in the back, just want to make the truck set a we bit higher (And I assume the 250 springs would do it) Just checking cause this will be a side project along with the F250 High Boy. Hope it will be worth my time to do a spring swap. Thanks guys.

Check the diameter of each of the series of the front coil springs. Thats gonna be your hang up. I cant remember if the coils are bigger diameter for the 250's or not. Other then that, you are good to go!

The front coils will swap. You can use the F150 4x4 lift springs in a 2wd diesel truck. So you can swap the diesel springs into your F150 and maybe get some lift. Those diesel springs will probably ride kinda rough with several hundred lbs less weight on them.
The leafs are probably wider on your F250 so I don't think the block will work. But measure the width on both and see.

a 2WD F250 and a 4WD F150 have the same width leaf spring. I know that cause when you go to order hanger and mounts and shackles it says 4WD 150 and 2WD F250.
Again thanks guys much appreciated.
