Default help on stiffening up the front end

my truck is a 03 RCSB Sierra im running a belltech 2/4 drop,( spindles, shackles and hangers,) i have street performances in the rear, stock shocks up front, Im having problems with my tires wanting to gnaw on my fenders when taking corners at decent speed, i have a sway bar coming for the front to help a little bit but i need some reccomendations on the rest of it, is there a stiffer coil spring i could put in that is stock size? and i should run some stiffer shocks up front, but i dont need a drop shock, i need stock length, just havent came across any stiffer than the stock ones.

I'll sell you the motor for 15k. And I'll even throw the rest of the truck in there with it.

You cloud try a stiffer shock but ultimately its the springs. I have 3" drop springs with nitro active drop shocks up front. The ride gets a little more rigid, but it rides like my camro did and can take corners faster than the camaro could
