The RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3611-HD referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2009 Ford F-250, as long as it does not have the factory top overload springs. This heavy-duty kit will do a much better job of supporting the truck's capacity compared to the factory suspension, but it will not actually increase the hitch/tongue weight capacity of your F-250. This is the case with any aftermarket suspension enhancement system.

Generally speaking, no aftermarket products will allow you to increase the factory limits on your vehicle.

This RoadActive Kit will install on the leaf springs to add strength without compromising the ride quality. It will help to eliminate bottoming out, axle wrap, wheel hop, and greatly improve road handling. I have attached a short video demonstration, along with the written installation instructions on this system that you can also take a look at.
