I need some lifting HELP

On my 90 non-4X4 F-350 1-ton truck i am having problem lifting the front-end up.I called my local custom truck place and they told me they didn't make a lift kit for my truck due to it being a diesel. He
told me to put 4X4 coil springs and that will give a 3-4 inch lift.
So...I went out and bought some. Before I go through the pain of puting them on WILL THIS WORK????????? If not I need some suggestions
on how to go about lifting it lets say 5in wityh put spending maga-bucks

From a guy with no clue what he is doing

You might want to post this down in the suspention forum, couple guys down there are familiar with coils apps.
I would say , if you rasied it 4 inches ,you would need the drop pivot bracket and possibly a drop pitman arm.

I think you would be better off getting a leveling kit than trying to piece something together. But that may be costly.

Just a thought.
