72 K5 Blazer with Jeep Springs

Has anyone run a rear JEEP leafspring setup on the front of their K5 or K10 - appear to have good arch with a spring rate of 200lbs per inch could result in a pretty good ride. Spring length is 43'' vs the factory 44'' but with the softer spring should work.

Maybe dumb idea.....

Thoughts

IMO if gonna swap springs then go B52 or at least a 47" spring.
