Question front suspension questions

just wondering if anyone knows the difference in front ride height and GVWR
between the heavy service suspension package and the snow plow prep package in the 2005 f-250. I would also like to know if it is possible to swap the front springs from heavy service(which is what I have) to the snow plow springs and what the cost may be. Alternatively, I would like to know of a good lift package that would bring my front end up 1 1/2 to 2 inches. THANKS

Not with the 05s it hasn't.

Springs can of course be swapped. Cost? Who knows but your parts counter dude.

Lift? Try the Ford springs first until the aftermarket catches up.

I guess all I need to know is the difference between the GAWR in the snow plow and heavy service suspensions. Is it worth changing the springs just to achieve a taller ride height or would a simple lift-kit such as the new one from tuff-country be sufficient?
