I don't plan on hauling or carrying heavy loads, so I don't need such strong springs.

Yes i got a few aftermarket Axles. The only reason to have those was i believed they was much better. The aluminum Knuckle is good thing, the rest is not better.

Like this a few $ cheaper. The springs i don't pull apart most of them has a rivet holding them together, and if you remove blades the u bolt get kind of too long.
So i cut the blade off in front of axle, with a Dremel just two strokes and then bed it off. Start with one. if needed cut next behind the axle.that way i've don it and it improve a lot. The weight is a problem... way too light should be 10 KG or 22LBS for a truck think.
