Leveling springs?

I would like to bring my the front of my f150 up 2-3in. The purpose for the lift is that I have a plow installed and the frame is too low. It bottoms out and is a real problem. I would also like to increase the amount of weight I can put in the back. Off road ability is not a concern.

I think what I need are leveling springs. Does anyone know of good brands? Any web sites I could look at? How much of a lift can I get out of leveling springs?

BTW: I have 92 f150 supercab long box.


Thanks

Doug

Might look into the air bag systems, these fit inside the original coil and adjust with air. These will give you a variable ride height for times that the plow is actually on and will help keep the alignment reasonable (by adjustment) if the plow is on or off, unless it never comes off, then any good lift company should be able to hook you up with the leveling and weight capacity your lookin' for. While I understand it's not for off-road, a good off-road mag will have many, many suppliers that you can contact.
