f250 spring help

Anyone who has put f250 springs on their truck, is it a direct bolt on to put f250 front coils and rear leafs on an f150 and where is the best place to buy them.

Everyone says the 250 rear springs are wider so you need the hangers too. Front go right on.

The F250 leaf springs I put on my truck which is a F150 5.8 Supercab 4x4 were 3 inches wide...so I just used the shackles (hangers) that were already on there. Gave my truck a good lift too....bout 4 inches.
