Coil spring replacements

My truck sits about an 1" too low in the front after lowering. It also rides rather stiff with air bags and upgraded coils (several years old). I get conflicting opinions on whether I could get a spring that was both taller in ride height and softer in ride quality. It seems to me a thinner wire and more turns would do this. Before I waste my time has anyone tried it?
