3/4 ton springs on a 150?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if it is possible to put the leaf springs from a 1994 f250 on my 2003 f150? The reasons for this would be to lift the back end because I just bought a used 4 inch lift kit that only has the parts to lift the front. My friend has a 94 f250 that is basically a parts truck and he seems to think I could just use those springs?

What year f150 did you put them on? How much did it lift the truck and does it ride really stiff now?

I got 1/2 ton lift springs for my truck they are 12" lift leaf springs and ride ok but fairly stiff. Im gonna geuss the 3/4 ton leaf springs are gonna stiffen it up slightly but as long as you dont go crazy then it wont be too bad.

cant remeber my measurements exactly somewhere around 46" x 2.5" but thats just a geuss i know they are 2.5" wide though

I've got a set of atlas leaf springs under my F-150. The springs themselves only netted me like a true 4'' of lift. However, there are like eight leaves in each pack, so the payload capacity is like that of a 3/4 ton F-250. I know for a fact they are 2.5'' wide, but I don't know the length eye to eye.
