95 F150 Leaf Spring Replacement

Can anyone tell me, on a 95 F150 4 X 4, can I replace 4-leaf springs with 5-leaf springs and will they just bolt in or do I need other parts etc to make the swap?

Make sure the width of the spring is the same(exact), as well as overall length (within 1/2"). Also make sure the distance from the front spring mounting bolt to the axle alignment pin (in the middle of the spring) is the same.

Make sure your U-bolts have enough length for the fatter spring pack. Pick up an extra can of PB Blaster from the auto parts store and soak all the nuts and bolts 24 hours in advance to help loosen them up.

Thanks for answering, but it's moot now, I finally found a set of 4 leaf springs, going to pick them up tomorrow. I've been soaking the bolts and nuts with WD all night long, I've replaced the springs on a Ford before and that seemed to do the trick.
