Are you trying to raise it or have the original springs just run their course. I believe the 250 and 350 use the same springs based on axle weight. There’s one spring listed on rockauto that says 1 5/8 over stock height but they’re over $300. I had an ECLB that I put the Moog cc844s on and it picked it up 2 to 2 1/2 inches over the originals. How much space is there between the top of your tire and fender. Mine went from 2 fingers to 4 fingers plus a little. Hope this adds confusion to your decision lol.

Because truck runs so good and I just rebuilt tranny I was thinking of swapping to a 4wd front end.

Do you have extra leaves on the rear? If you go much taller on the front with twin I beam or Dana 50 you will need to lower axle pivot points. You can get a little more height with adjustable camber bushings, I don’t know if you can get what you want though. You may have to compromise by lowering rear some.
Good luck. Maybe someone else has suggestions. As you raise front, tires angle in at bottom. I’d go to an alignment shop and ask if adjustable camber bushings will get you there.

Autofab makes brackets to lower pivot arms I just need to find an affordable set of longer coil springs...its crazy cause they make everything I'm wanting to do for gas trucks
When you get a chance take a picture of the rear springs, looks like it has been lifted to me. Possible blocks swapped in
