Sounds more like a twin Pinto engine set-up at those poundages

These certainly exist. I have used them before on 125 Aprilias. What on earth are you using them on? I could give you the details for my old spring
manufacturer who made these for me if you wish.
The other thing to watch out for with short high rate springs like these is that there is enough movement in the spring to avoid coil bind before the
shock itself is closed.

springs
Its a 3 wheeler with a single rear wheel at the rear got 600lb at the moment and it not enough.
If you have details of a spring manufacture that will be of help.

Is the current spring not stiff enough (too much up and down motion) or does it need to be a bit longer?

Can you not use a twin spring/twinshock setup?
Might actually be better than asking a damper to control that sort of spring rate, especially given that you aren't using a monoshock linkage
anyway (edit: ... and therefore have the disadvantages of dealing with swingarm movement associated with traditional twinshock setups).
