TTB Leaf spring setup for SD axle swap?

Discussing the option of putting Super Duty axles under a Bronco with a friend of mine. He has a complete 4x4 SD donor. Thinking about going leaf spring on the front. Not wanting anything crazy, just reliable and capable. He is thinking overlander. Pull his little travel trailer to Colorado, wheel it, come home kind of deal. Is there a reason not to use the F250 TTB Leaf spring setup for something like this? Looking for budget friendly, minimum custom fab. We are both capable, just short on time to spend mocking things up. I can't remember now...seems like the SD front leaf springs may be longer, which would be an advantage to using them. Anything else we may be missing?
