Red face I need a little help!!

I have a 2000 F-250 SD 4x4 V-10 ex-cab. I want to put a plow on the truck and I am pretty sure my truck has the heavy duty service suspension package. I bought the truck used with 900 miles on it and the dealer told me this was the suspension package on the truck. I noticed that you can not get the plow package on a truck if you have the HD Suspension package. Does that mean I have the same springs as the plow package. The truck does not seem to sit as high in the front as trucks with the x-springs for the plow set up. Is there someone out there that can run my vin# at a dealer where you work to let me know. Vin# 1FTNX21S8YEC24466. My dealer is not worth the trip. And if anyone has any other info to share that would be appreciatd as well. Part number to look for to let me know or anything like that.

The front is rated at a 4400lb GAWR. Does anyone know the answer to why you can't get the heavy duty service susspension package and the plow prep package? Someone must know.

you do not have the biggest front springs, the top ones are 5200 lb
my truck does not have the plow package, but it does have the heavy service package(which on the window sticker says "8800 lb gvw package") and the camper package and i have the 5200 lb springs
