Default Winter upgrades

Just getting ready for the winter upgrades and had a couple questions, I was planning on swapping in a 3/4 ton rear axle into my 1995 f150. I found a practically new stearling 10.25 for short money and it matches the front axle ratio, my question is can I swap the front spindles and rotors from the same year f-250 onto the front end of my truck so I can match the 8 lug rear axle? I have heard of this being done but wanted to check with the folks out there before diving in.

I also plan on swapping in front coils (moog cc844) and wanted to know if this was worth doing? I run a Cummins 4bt and it weighs about 800#'s and the stock coils are fairly used and starting to sag a bit. it's starting to get cold and winter is coming so I figure I can get a jump on the parts and be ready to do the swap before the snow flys.

Anything is possible if you have the right tools and know how. But my guess is it's not gonna be a straight bolt in swap. The coil numbers look to match the coils for our style trucks except I think ours is cc844s if I remember correctly

$0.02 I installed coils from a extended cab f150 on my standard cab and they helped a lot. They may compensate for the added wait, if you have a standard cab, may even out. Not sure but I think that the hubs from the ballpoints out should match the ttb44 from the ttb50.
