Several comments, if I may:
If you also happen to be a model railroader, use Athearn's motor brush springs as a replacement for the stock suspension springs. They are the same length and diameter, but softer. You should be able to find them at a reputable hobby shop. Elsewhere I've noted the Athearn part number.
And a minor disagreement with my fellow Iowan, zzultimate: the gear mods described in the linked tutorial are 4- and 5-gear mods, referring to the number of gears employed, not 4th or 5th gear, as I would find on the shifter of my cars, mods. The 4th and 5th gear terms, in their general and common use, would not imply the type of gearing described in the tutorial. I've been criticized before for making this distinction, but I know the writer of the tutorial to be serious about the distinction, and am willing to speak on his behalf.
Longer axles, sure. Make your own extensions for the front. See the tutorial for dual wheels on the same linked site for some ideas. For the rear solid axle try some brass rod. If necessary I could provide a tutorial on my method for making the required wheel adapters.
