stiffening rear suspension

Hello
the rear suspension of my morris traveller is modified with spaxs adjustable shock absorbers replacing the original arm type.
Is there a kit available to fit coil over springs to these existing shop absorbers? The idea is to stiffen the rear suspension to help with towing a caravan.

I'd look for a pair of 8cwt LCV springs and replace the longest leaf with the one form the traveller springs (the front eye is different on the LCV)
Failing that, Grayston used to make spring assisters, but I'm not sure if they're still available (or if Grayston still exist for that matter!)

It would be a LOT of work to fit coil-over springs. You could just fit Aeon bump stops - but actually - the caravan should be balanced so there is only about 25Kg nose weight, so standard 7 leaf Trav springs should be ok.
