1 gf / mm * 0.001 kg / g * 2.2 lb / kg * 25.4 mm / in = 0.05588 lbf / in
58.6 gf/mm = 3.27 lbf / in
70.9 gf/mm = 3.96 lbf / in
That seems awfully soft for a wheel rate on a TC, though. But I'm not sure what a typical TC motion ratio is.

The difference in suspension leverage, on the leaf spring, might have something to do with the lower numbers needed.
