Default VBP Leaf Springs - opinions? specs?

new to me 04Z was built 8-10yrs ago seemingly with every part they could throw at it.
Leafs are VBP C-5F and C-5R. The company has gone bust and I've found no info on them.
Higher rate? stock rate? advantages/disadvantages?

It also has Phadt Johnny O'Connell shocks. These seem to be highly regarded but the ride is rather jouncy/poorly controlled, perhaps just not a good match with the VBP leafs

I started by doing that but all the info seems old, I was wondering if anything more recent
