I'm wondering whether a pair of more powerful springs won't create other problems when opening and closing.

It would put more stress on the hinge causing more wear and inability to hold gate up over time.
I still do not think the locks are OEM. They were most likely added when the tailgate hinge and/or spring began to fail and service parts were not available (before EvilBay).
I do remember broom sticks being used ...
