Question Leveling Kit For plowing???

OK guys, I still have the ole 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 OFF-ROAD edition with the big Western Ultra Mount Pro Guard plow. The plus side is that OFF-ROAD edition trucks have 3/4ton coil springs swapped into the front, so it does take it a little more normal, but still wish I had a little more, to help keep some weight on the rear. So I was thinking about ordering a leveling kit for the truck, so it sits more normal with the plow hooked up. So main question is, what kit would you go with that works with the OFF-ROAD trucks. Secondly could I also add a "Add-A-Leaf" to the rear to get a little rake back to the truck so it tows better?

On a side note, the truck now has larger tires on it, with the same suspension and a little wider offset wheels.

A pair of front coils for a diesel should raise the front a little and handle the weight better.

Yeah, all 1500, 2500, and 3500 4wd front coils are interchangeable. Personally I have gas 2500 coils. I know Hambone has diesel coils on his truck too.
