Here is how I would vote it, assuming the spring man could deal with
this data format:

I would like my new springs to be somewhere near the intersection of
these two datapoints, probably the average:

1. I would like my new spring to perform at 5,500 lbs the same as
the factory spring performs at 4,200lbs,

and,

2. 20% stiffer.

>This is what I am figuring... another 10% stiffer.  I was told to
measure
>the spring compressed in the truck and to take as many measurments
as
>possible.  I then have to send them the spring and they will run a
"torture
>test" take their data from that.  I should see me spring back in
about 4 to
>5 days.
