I have never seen a kit offered through Hendrickson. You may be able to get an aftermarket kit from a suspension shop. You would have to change the saddles and hangers in addition to adding springs. I would guestimate $2,000-3,000 in parts not including labor using Hendrickson components. Aftermarket parts from a suspension shop would save you alot of cash.
