Gen 1 - looking for help/guidance on upgrading suspension.

I'm relatively heavy at 225lbs without gear. I also plan to take my wife for rides frequently and she is roughly 145 lbs.

I, by myself, max out the rear suspension or at least the spring.
I don't have a lot of money to spend but I do want to set the bike up right.

What are your suggestions? Can I just replace the spring?

What parts do you recommend?

Where are the best places to find parts?

How critical is getting the sag right?

What is the perfect amount of sag? I have read 30mm - 40mm on the internet but the service manual does not list the proper sag numbers.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Rich
