Thanks!
In theory, with the same moment arm contributing force from the chassis, the stiffer spring won't allow the chassis to roll as much but it will offer a higher ceiling for a force counteracting the roll. Basically what that means is you can start working on roll center to increase the chassis impact against the spring.
