Back on topic, here's a list of available springs through Summit Racing (k10 with either 52's or 56's) and their stated spring rates.
Front springs:

Rear Springs

Obviously the higher the rate, the more weight they'll hold without sagging, but the trade off is that they'll be stiffer when you aren't hauling anything.
Superlift reckon that their kit will work with the diesel because "it's not much heavier than the 350"
Thoughts?
Superlift looks like they have the highest spring rate of anyone per given lift size.
Find the difference in weight between a 350 and the 6.2l, and it'll show you how much it will sag.
If it's a 500 lb difference, then you'll size 1" lower in the front due to weight versus the same springs on a truck with a 350.
