Has anyone thought about trying to swap front coil springs from a Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, or Town Car? They float going down road meanwhile the explorers bounce off every little pebble.

For some reason specs conflict regarding explorer front coils

While the load rate is higher the spring rate is much softer
 












If I were going to go though the trouble I'd much rather have air bag/bladder suspension...

I've been trying to find air bag solutions but can only find completely custom builds.
