Xplorer 300 heavy duty rear spring?

Hi.

I cannot seem to find anyone selling a heavy duty rear spring for my Xplorer 300 97'. The oem spring is in my opinion too soft, especially when I am carrying tools and stuff in the rear. It also gives less clearance to the trailer coupling.

Does anyone know where to get a hold of such a spring?

Thanks,
Tommy.

If it has one shock under the seat with a spring on it, it can be adjusted to make it stiffer.

I think you just rotate the silver part on the bottom(it has different settings on it)
