Makeos, might want to do some more checking on here if no one replies, the Moog 844 spring off a 250 2wd will raise a 4wd f150 1 1/2 -2" according to what I have researched on this site and that is also what the local guy at the alignment shop thought. The 3/4 ton spring is going to make it ride stiffer, but for me thats fine because I am always hauling or pulling stuff on less than ideal roads. I don't know for sure, but from what I have read in other posts, you might be better off putting spacers under your springs to raise it a bit and you would keep your ride it has now. Thats just my 2 cents, there is guys on here who really know there stuff who could give you better advice. Like your truck, that is clean and straight as they come.

If you do a part search for a same year 2wd f350, you will get the correct springs. The Moog part # is cc844. Those are what I installed. Many folks on here have used the Spicer springs but I don't know the part# for those.
Don't sweat the stiff comments unless its really important to you to have a soft ride. They don't make the ride uncomfortable, in my opinion. Because so much weight sits on the front of these trucks, a stronger spring has less of a ride impact in the front than in the back. I've made this comment in a number of other threads, but I live in an area with potholed paved and gravel roads and the ride doesn't bother me at all.
I'd buy some (maybe even junkyard), put them in (its really easy) and then take it for a ride. If you don't like it, take them out and return them. You don't have to do the alignment immediately.
