A "dual-rate" or a "progressive" spring has you riding on softer spring rate for comfort, but the rate increases the more it is loaded, which helps carry that load better. Progressive (or dual rate) might be a good compromise.
I talked with a vendor today and what he said made some sense to me but wanted to proposed the question to you guys. His suggestion was to use 4 in drop springs in the rear and stock springs in the front with 2.5 in drop spindles...His reasoning is that you still have stock travel in the springs.

Thoughts?
