Something to think about, and I will be adding to my truck soon is a set of Timbren AEON Hollow Rubber Springs.
Check them out at Timbren.com
I added a 7,5' Meyers snow plow and do not like a stiff ride, these should work fine, front and rear.
If anyone has these on their truck, let me know how they are please.
Thanks.

Timbrens are fine and will o well in your app. I have them on the "99 F350 which has a 1200# Blizzard 8611 Lo-Pro. Truck does very well.

I have timbrens on the front of my 03 7.3. They work well for the plow, but when I have my fifth wheel camper on, the truck sits way too high in the front. this makes the steering wander a bit. I am putting air bags on all 4 corners.

You actually have 3 options. I have all of them on various trucks in the fleet.
1. Timbren helper springs. They take the weight when the plow is on. (cheapest and easiest install)
2. Additional leaf(s). This will handle the plow, but may jar your dental work loose when the front load is not on the truck.
3. Airbags. This is ideal as they can be adjusted. (most expensive but most flexible)
Along the way don't forget ballast and shocks. (Bilstein) and put 750-1000 lbs of weight over the rear axle.
My favorite is the adjustable Firestone Airbags (made near me) and ballast. Each of my fleet carries all or part of a pallet of deicing agent (treated salt) and a spreader of some sort.
PS surf to xxx. Many folk from CT there.
