1. A suspension system for an off-road vehicle, the suspension system comprising:
a wheel cylinder for communicating forces on a wheel to a spring cylinder;
a spring cylinder for communicating forces to a spring;
the spring for creating forces on the spring cylinder wherein the spring comprises a progressive spring that is configured to exhibit a spring force that increases at a non-linear rate as the spring is compressed; and
a spring stop for fixating the spring with respect to the spring cylinder;
wherein a configuration of the abovementioned wheel cylinder, spring cylinder and spring stop is such that it enables the use of the spring that is physically too large to be mounted between the vehicle's chassis, on the one hand, and a suspension component, on the other hand.
