I've had good luck with the Moog Cargo Coils, and a lot cheaper than IPD. JC Whipme usually has pretty decent prices on them I've bought a few sets from them and I got lucky and got one set new on ebay pretty cheap.
They don't effect the ride adversely, but you can load the stink out of them and not sag, even with a trailer.
If memory serves me, they are set to take an extra 350 pounds before dropping an inch, but with the variable rate, you are riding most of the time on the initial load soft section.
I first bought a set of those Cargo Coils about 20 years ago to put on a Pontiac Phoenix that I had a bad habit of loading the seats and trunk and roof down with sacks of feed and bails of hay. Turned that thing into a pretty decent hauler ( too bad the engine wasn't up to the task :-)
