lifting my diesel

I am wanting to lift my '82 GMC which has a 6.2l diesel in it. I need a good set of front springs that are going to take the load. The diesel is about 300 lbs. heavier than a sbc I think. So I need a spring that will take the weight and give me a 4" lift. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks

Heavy Duty Front Springs

I know that both Superlift and Tuff Country sell lift kits with Heavy Duty front springs made for Diesels/Big Blocks. I'm putting a 454 in a '72 1/2ton K10, and I went with the Superlift Kit from a guy on Ebay. His user name is Davy1445 I think. Good luck
