I did a bunch of research on spring rates and they vary a good bit based on rate and use. A hotchkis spring will be stiffer than a CPP. A good spring shop will want wheel weights, total weight, installed height and use. If you are going to auto cross the truck the rates will be stiffer than the rate on a cruiser that is looking for the smoothest ride.
