This is EXTREMELY Dangerous as Ford installs the front leaf spring bolts from the inside out.
In order to complete this job safely you need to remove the gas tank and the exhaust system which is really unfortunate as you'll see that the bolts fit in perfectly the other way and is much more safe to replace the leaf springs!!!
Both of my Rear Leaf Springs on my 2009 Ford F150 broke and I needed to replace them. I bought used leaf springs that came off of a 2014 F150. This is the video from the driver side. It is sped up but this is the process from start to finish. It took me an hour and this was my first time replacing leaf springs on any vehicle. I recorded installing the second leaf spring as I learned a lot from replacing the passenger side.
I had to use a grinder to take the bolt out. If Ford would have installed the bolt that way I installed it this would have been a much easier task. I tried a Sawzall but a brand new blade wouldn't cut the bolts.
Please give it a like if you found it helpful. You can do it and save yourself a lot of money.
It was heavy but I think it was one of the easiest repairs that I have had to do. Check you local auto wrecked for some used ones, they are way less expensive!
