Front springs

Alright, seen alot of talk lately about front springs for best weight transfer on here. And low and behold I'm doing alot of changes to my setup this year, now I know if it works don't mess with it, but I'm sure knowing my current setup that it wll be better not worse.

Right now my truck does hook and has fairly good weight transfer for a LWB. I run 1.52 60's and have pulled a front tire on launch. Most of this is due to my rear setup as my front is not set up for drag racing. I run all stock frontend with 3" drop springs and Bell Tech drop shocks.

Now down to business, I'm going to tubular front arms, 3" drop spindles and QA1 R series adjustable rebound front drag shocks. The best plan that I can come up with for ease of installation and the ride height I want is a stock LD front coil spring.

UNLESS anyone knows of a drag spring that will fit the stock spring pocket that I could use. I don't want to have to mickey mouse in a spring, so it would have to be a direct bolt job.
