Adding Dual Alternator

I have a 2002 F350 CrewCab with 7.3L PS.
Use it as a emergency response vehicle.
Concerned about electrical draw with winch, flashing lights, extreme cold, etc
Does anyone know what is involved in converting to dual alternator?
What brackets, wiring add-ons, belts, or other is needed besides 2nd alternator?

Any advise would be appreciated.

elevated idle control would be nice also, alternators don't like to make much juice when idling.
