My advice - change the rear first and adjust the spring preload on the front to match. Modify the forks only if you find it necessary.

I weigh the same and run the forks the same way. They work 1000x better with less preload.
I am going to do the F3 swap though, just because I have the parts. If I could just stop riding the bike and actually do it...
