I think you guys are getting off track a bit. The springs aren't really there for "absorbing hits". Springs load and then unload and the shock has to control that. The hit absorbing should be done by the shock valving. If you try using springs to absorb hits, you will be in a never ending vicious cycle were you are adding rebound to control the heavy lower spring that's now launching your rig into the air when it rebounds. Now the shock is packing because of all the rebound damping you added to control the heavy lower spring and you might think its bottoming so you add even more spring rate. Rinse and repeat...
