Default 07 ram 1500 2wd front springs/shocks swap with a 2500 2wd

Hey guys just a question, I just thought of this, I have an 07 ram 1500 qc 2wd and I'm wondering could it work to put the springs and shocks from a 2500 2wd v8 of the same year in the front in order to achieve the "level" look? Would they bolt right in the same? I know the ride would be stiffer but otherwise could it work?

And I'm only suggesting this would work because the shocks and springs off the 2500 are two inches longer than the 1500's if I remember correctly. And I only have the 4.7, not hemi so lift should be possible I believe just hoping they are same size to fit right in diameter wise.

Yeah I know the shocks fit but I'm wondering if the springs from the 2500 will just fit right in as well, say out of a 5.9 L v8

Well i have an 08 dodge ram 1500 qc 2wd and yesterday i bought a set of 2014 2500 front coils springs and put them in only thing i noticed was the the shocks from the 2014 2500 shocks were the bottom that they dont bolt right up like the 1500 shocks are so i gained only an inch of lift i know others stated 2in. with 2500 and 3inches with 3500 coils are wrong.
