Default FXDWG spring rate?

So my problem is that I am a big guy and I need to get some heavier rate springs for the front end. I am riding a 2010 Wide Glide, I installed Progressive 440's in the rear and that fixed my sag problem in the back. Now I need some help figuring out what I need to change up front to bring it in line with the rear. I dont really want to lower the bike, maybe half an inch but that doesnt really matter. Any suggestions for someone who makes springs that will hold up to my 300 pounds?

Anyone who knows what the stock spring rate is so I can figure out what to change to would be a huge help.

Stock is .960 kg/mm according to racetechs site. i'm in the same boat you are and am trying to find info. the racetech .6-1.1 kg/mm progressive springs look to me to be a strong contender for me at this point.

Can anyone else help?

is that set-up for lowering the front or just for better ride quality at heavy loads?
