I decided not to change the front springs. I am running the stock turf tires (18-9.5-8 I think). I lowered the pressure from 20psi to 15 psi in the front tires and that seemed to help a little. I did notice yesterday that I seem to sit really close to the rear axle so maybe that is where I should focus my efforts.

I'll be putting some 22 inch ATV tires (10 inch rims) on the rear soon so I'll need to at least make a 4" rear end lift. I have some rear motorcycle shocks laying around and I think I'll try to lift it with those (they should be weaker than the stock rear coil springs).

I'll post the results here after I use the weaker motorcycle shocks/springs to lift the rear end- it may be a week or so.
