I doubt it.

Rear springs aren't the same size.
If the front is replacement springs, then no way will it hold, if it is a spacer then it might work.

Different spring rate....difference in sprung weight is probably 300lbs or better.

And phox is right, IIRC rear springs on a gasser are 2.5" vs. 3" on a diesel....

Yeah fronts have a different spring rate.......you'd be better off to go with a spacer then those springs.

if its off a v-10 gasser it should work. if its off the 360 it will not. most of the kits ive seen use the same springs for the v-10 or the ctd.
