I saw the same information and the local distributor did not know if it would fit the AWD. I guess I am going to call them back to see if they would do it for me. I assume it would fit but not 100% certain.

No way will it fit the AWD. The lower control arm on the AWD is completely different than the 2WD 250/350, and the lower end of the shocks are not even a little bit alike. Sorry, it will take a unique set up for the AWD.

I discovered this when I was investigating why the 250/350 RWD has no front end camber adjuster and the AWD does.

All the RWD platforms have the same suspension, so yes, it will fit. The spring rates may not be ideal for the 250 though. That's easy enough to fix, though.
