As I posted before the seat on my 3720 was bottoming out, and not carrying my weight as it should.
I have since came up with a temporary fix to get by with before my air ride seat arrives.
Simple buy two 3" stainless pipe clamps and use them to secure a section of the springs.
From the rear, band about 2" of spring and secure the band to the rear spring mount. Tighten down firmly, but not overtighten. This renders the 2" of spring from expanding.
The seat is almost perfect now.

I seem to remember a post from a year or two ago where someone fixed a similar problem using those foam "noodles" used as floats for swimming. They cut them into short strips, bundled them together and stuffed them under the seat. Seemed like a pretty good idea to me. Perhaps a more forum savy person can find that post.
