With regards to spring size and rates. You'd want to step down in length if you increase the rate to maintain a relevant spring load. Not doing so will severely alter preload. Swift lists this information on the site for each spring in imperial and metric.

That last statement sounds odd to me. I have always seen the opposite. As you jump in spring rate the coil thickness has to increase but the space between the coils must be the same otherwise you alter the springs stroke length before coil bind (absolutely not good). So with thicker coils but same gap then overall length must increase otherwise your slapping a 4in stroke spring on a 5in stroke damper and bottom out will be a very big surprise.
