Try overload springs or helper springs before you try putting in f250 springs. They are designed for a much heavier truck and as such will reaaaaally decrease your ride quality and might possibly be too stiff to be safe. If you already have a 6 inch lift on the truck you don't need to upgrade your front springs. Just got to stop the back from drooping with a load on it.
