beefing up the suspension

Looking to pu a plow on a 2002 f250, crew cab. I have read that i will want to add some leafs to the suspension. Who is the best out there? I woul like to add about 2 - 3 inches thats all. Also how hard is the process to install them. I'm a pretty good shade tree. Thanks for any advise.

What engine do you have? If you have a gasser the X - Springs (factory plow package springs) would give you about that much lift.

Just a suggestion, but I would also look into getting air bags on the front rather than springs, thus no plow, reduce pressure and still have somewhat of a smooth ride. My buddy put an extra leaf in the front of his to level the truck out. Ride fairly rough now.
