6.0 street/strip build

To start, this is my first superduty, first powerstroke, first build to this degree. Although this is my 3rd diesel following my first 2012 6.7 Cummins that was suppose to be 900hp to wheels (only dynod 720 at 50psi max, but could hit 65psi on the street so who knows) and then my 2015 6.7 Cummins with just built trans, deletes and tuning. But my mechanics experience goes further than that. All that just to say I'm no expert and still got a ton to learn but I believe I am capable of doing this build with the experience I have and what I hope to learn.

The truck is a 2005 f350 cc/sb 4wd and in this thread I hope to build a reliable, streetable truck that will lay down some impressive passes at the drag strip. I don't want to just build a high horsepower motor and add a built transmission and homemade traction bars and call it a drag truck. I want to learn how to build and tune the suspension to make use of the power correctly.

I am currently in the middle of rebuilding the front suspension and steering with new moog ball joints, wheel hubs, tie rod ends, etc. I also have new powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and pads and ss braided lines.

For the front I need to know what coil springs I should go with to keep it soft as I think it still should be with a 4wd and use some QA1 dual adjustable shocks which i will definitely have to learn how to tune. Any help would be awesome!

Picked up some shocks to run on the daily, since I do plan to drive it on the street quite a bit I don't want to wear out the QA1s. I'll be able to swap them in for the strip.
 
4400# coil springs were ordered, not much other progress so far with other projects going on around the house. Hopefully will get to cleaning off the axle housing and getting it coated. I have chassis saver in aluminum but really want it to last and look good so still seeing if there's any other options.

Coil springs in, once I get the 4 link and everything painted the front will be ready to go back together. Still deciding wether I should powdercoat my extra parts or not...
