I have thought of that myself. Unfortunately I haven't been to the salvage yard recently to give it a try. I found some relative inexpensive extension springs at places like McMaster-Carr, Reid Supply Company and even Tractor Supply. These springs may work, but I'm not 100% sold on any of them - but I might buy a couple to experiment with.
