Leveling Kit

Hey all Ford super duty owners. I have a question.
I run a snow plow in the winter and the mount is low because of the heavy duty suspension. My rear end is lifted stock and my front end is low. When haul loads and such it evens out. Now onto my question, What kind of leveling kit do you guys recommend? I was thinking of going with the coil spacers or the torsion types. I think that 2" will bring my truck about level. I know there are people here that can advise, so thats why im here
I have an F350 4x4. Just an FYI.
Thanks super duty people!!

What year is your truck? What engine does it have?

Well you said coil spacers so I am guessing your truck is 2005+.
I have heard of people putting air bags up front to assist when plowing.

Well than you have leaf springs up front so a mini pack would work.

When plowing, I would look at the leaf springs. If they are leveled out, I would put a add a leaf in there.

Mini springs are the best way IMO. New springs wont get you anything that the mini spring wont, and mini springs are much cheaper.
