Front Coil Spring question

My truck is an 05 F250 PSD, I have the factory 6000 pound coil springs on my vehicle, from what I understand the snow plow package set-up is with the 6600 pound coil springs, If I were to install the heavier spring set on my truck, would it require a re-alignment of the front end? and/or if I'm wrong about the numbers, please correct me.... thanks!

Well the springs that have the 6600lb or whatever Ford's plow spring rating is (I dont know) will probably change the alignment because they might be little taller along with being a stiffer coil. But as for doing and suspension work in general it is a must for re-alignment especially when putting a differant spring in so your tie rods and tires do not wear out prematurely.
