I'll disagree with that to an extent. If you look at the oval track kits mopar developed back in the day, they only used 120# leaf springs. The XHD units are in the neighborhood of 150# with some of the superstock springs going up to around 180#. Certainly not a lot of wheel rate there. If you want to look at a modern comparison, there is a lot of oval track and road race cars out there that are going with softer spring rates and higher sway bar rates so they can still achieve the same roll couple, higher roll resistence, and softer jounce and rebound, which is easier on the tires.
I still say go big up front and stick with the XHD leafs and use rear sway bar sizes to tune the handling to your liking.
