That looks like it might be closer to 10.5" to me... (you need to measure from each end of the spring).
I have nothing on why people said the F-150 springs felt stiffer, only thing I can come up with is psychological (people thinking "oh it's for a heavier truck so it MUST be stiffer"). A spring having a lower spring rate will be softer than one having a higher rate. Simple physics.
Or, maybe more of Moog's specs are wrong... I don't know.
Years ago I had saved this pic off the internet, I recall it was taken from Fourwheeler or maybe Peterson's 4Wheel magazine. Maybe it can be useful here
