F250 Coil springs

The number of coils is misleading because it is a softer spring. The F250 is a much firmer spring and will not flex as much and give you a bumpy ride.
It will alter your front end geometry in a bad way. Not worth putting in, IMHO. Your front end will raise up, your camber and caster will be out of alignment, and your ball joints are going to take a beating on every turn.
I'd say replace with stock factory rate new springs.

Lots of guys have done it and it's a great upgrade if your stock coils are sagged.
The ride is firmer but not bumpy. This 95 that I did last summer handled and rode much better.
But the stock coils were sagged and the tires sat like this /-\ After the f250 coils they sat like they should l-l . Heres a pic

I did the 250 switch. I used new heavy duty springs from AutoZone. Cost about $75. Had it aligned at a local shop no problems. I recently completed my Ford front end training and pulled my truck on the rack. It was within 1/32 of factory specs. That's as good or better than off the assembly line. Runs great and handles well.
