Atom, of course a dual rate spring requires more force. That's why they call them "dual" rate.. art of the spring compresses under a lighter load, then once the load exceeds what that spring can support, the second stage of the spring begins to compress. Dual rate springs are such a subtle technology that they are pretty much usless in off-road racing.
