Anything is possible with time, money, and experience. Coil springs up front will not be an easy swap.

You could try swapping in longer springs in the front which should soften things up. You could also possibly try having some custom springs made for all around that would retain the stock ride height, but have more, thinner leaves in them which would soften things up.

A helper spring isn't going to soften the ride if you were to add them to the springs you already have. They are made to add load capacity to the spring pack.
