yea probably. I think it'd be weird to have a 250 rear axle and 150 front suspension, but whatever. Might have to do some work with springs getting them to mount to your frame (some 250 springs are wider than 150s.. would need to hangers etc.)

The just the rear swap will work . Possible drive shaft differences .
And there is 8 bolt kits for front.

But just put F250 springs (F350 make sit to high) in back . Some trucks sit fine other towards front
I use F350 2wd springs on front from 80-97 . aside from being cheap lift (1 1/2 + depending o how shot your fronts r). Will take a realign and possible HD chamber kit .

J.C.W. has Rear F250 spring for $100 +- with free shipping. I dont use used as they r all 20 + years old for most part.

Fronts F350 HD less the $100.( I paiid $86 shipped Again the coils r sagging after 4 years not alone 5 x that
They swap in no mods
This will not help brakes and unless put F250 front brakes on just the rears wont help much. Take your time driving is all. .
I haul a ton+ easy every once on My F150 And a while inn scrape and fire wood . I have plow on front and it barely sags with plow lifted.
