Tree ring data can be extrapolated from the European Alps; however, in support, I'd want to see ancient tree ring evidence from central New Hampshire.

In my little truck, I installed $100 helper springs--which scarcely touch--which optimizes the ride. Load, say, a lawnmower, and the helper springs "kick-in".
