If that was the case then we just wouldn't have springs or shocks at at all...
When running proper suspension (like DMS, MCA, Bilstein etc.) that has good separation of high and low speed* bump control, you'd be surprised how how soft of a spring rate you can go... You want to run as soft a spring as possible to aid traction, and let items like sway bars and anti-lift kits handle the body roll. You can't blame the springs for your handling problem when you're running rubbish Monroes...
* Shaft speed, not vehicle speed.
