Leaf Springs

I have a set of stock leaf springs off of a 2001 f150, are they the same leaf springs that are used on lightnings or do the lightnings use a different spring?, will they fit a lightning?..

The F 150 springs have a different load rating. 50#s less I believe.

not really on topic but im taking 1 leaf out of my 01 to lower the rear some more. Might help it squat more on launch too.
