So in that vein, has anyone ever replaced the gas spring in the LMS kit with one that’s stronger? Which is to say, simply used their mounting hardware? I’m working on a counterweight system, and have purchased the longer rack from LMS, but I don’t want to overlook other options that may have worked for someone else.

I bought the kit and just installed the new rack for now. I'm more inclined to wait and do a counterweight like in the other threads today yesterday.
If you used both, you probably would not get too much head lift to cause inconvenience. But, most people buy that kit so they can get rid of the existing torsion spring which:
* Limits downward travel.
* Can hit big workpieces on its way down.
* Has a locking ring on the right side of the column which makes it harder to install Z axis DRO.
