If you leave the F/R operating mechanism in place (and hooked up) couldn't you adjust the friction on it to use as a damper? The springs could do their work and the F/R mechanism would just keep the springs from "snapping" it back to center, which could be equally dangerous (I'm thinking "heavy load", "snap" back to center, momentum, loader bucket hits ground, operator bucked off seat, flies forward just in time for rear wheels to hit ground again, operator smashes face into hood, accidentally stomps on pedal again...) ?

Possibly, but I don't know if that'd be enough. I'm not sure I'm going mess with keeping the F/R lever hooked up more than temporarily. I've been trying to find a suitable hydraulic damper, but they're all very expensive.
