Question Question about suspension?

So I bought a Boss plow last year and when I have the plow on the truck the from of the truck sits really low becuase this plow is upwards of 700lbs so my question is what can i buy for the suspension in the from to make it sit hight when the plow is on, or can i buy stiffer shocks or something , i dont really know that much about the suspension so i was hoping soemone on here would know any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Matt

Shocks should never change your ride height, all they do is damper the movement of your suspension. What would be perfect for you is front air bags. Not sure if anyone makes a bolt in kit, you may have to go custom, but check out AirLift. You dont NEED replacement style bags, you may be able to find helper bags.
