Yes it is strong enough. I've been around this stuff for a long time and I've yet to see a failure of the Ford frame using a parallel leaf spring kit. Manufacturers put a lot of engineering into what they make and factor safety into the equation The last thing they need is bad publicity and a lawsuit.
