I had to put this project on hold for about a year and a half while I worked on other more pressing matters. I'm just now getting back to it. Right now I am working on rebuilding/regearing front Dana super 60, and rear Sterling 10.5 to use 4.56 gears. I will start looking into the...
I did a search and found this site:

This is probably not going to do everything you had hoped to be able to do, but it's kind of interesting. I'm going to play around with this later when I have some free time.

Have you tried searching for a suspension kinematics app? I'll bet someone's written one. Even if you have to pay a little bit of money for it, it might be worth it...

Good point on the center pivot. I overlooked that in making my comments. I was only comparing the lengths of the radius arm between the 2WD vs. The 4WD configurations.
My point was a simplified focus on the spring stiffness.
The additional pivots in the center will add another plane of rotation...
The only difference the length of the radius arm is going to make, is in how far the axles move forward and aft for a given vertical displacement. It will have no effect at all on the spring rate or spring force.

I have the 5.4 L, and I bought the CC880S springs. Haven't installed them yet, but sounds like I might have to swap them to lighter springs. Thanks for the tip.
By the way, Raul is right about the springs calcs. I was going to post the same thing, and then saw he had already posted it.

So the CC860 has been suggested for the vans with the 5.4 L V8. Can anyone explain what the difference is between that, and the CC860S?

Thank you. I also found a lot of individual parts here:

This is the kit I have. It uses a dana 60 from an '05 to '16 Ford Super duty truck:

I have front and rear axles from a 2014 F350.
I know that the super 60 uses different parts than the kingpin 60. I am looking for recommendations from anyone who has...
This is the model I probably should have gotten:
