Ian,
I've never tried anything more than 400lbs and I've settled on 400lbs 7" springs. They are a good compromise between comfort and stability and I'm only a couple of stone lighter (at least I was when I last weighed myself 3 or 4 years ago..........!!) than you.

If you're bouncing out your seat is there anything you can do with your shocks??
