Suspension

My custom is the 290 variant and I'm finding the ride very firm. Especially over the sh!t roads we have round here..

I work as a courier and the load is very lightweight. I'm never going to be carrying heavy loads. Can I just fit lighter rated springs? And if so what are the lightest front and rear springs Ford make for the custom?
