W350 vs W250 front suspension

I am working on getting parts together for a 4x4 conversion on my crew cab dually project. I have found a rolled 91 W250 and know that I can just swap the srw hubs for the drw hubs. I can not verify if the front suspensions differ from a W350 and a W250. Can anyone help out? I would prefer to have the entire truck to do the swap so that I can have all the parts on hand and know where they came from and where they need to go on the crew cab. I have exhausted my searching here...
Thank you in advance

Are the springs the same? I was not sure if the 350 springs had a heavier rating or not.

They're the same. Just about the only difference was the number on the badging.

Would this be a problem? What is the difference in size? I can have the owner of the W250 check on the size.
