FWIW, I have the IPD overload coils in the '70 145. I am very happy with them. It's amazing how much stuff can be loaded in there now without much sag.

Yes, they do make the unloaded ride firmer, not harsh in my opinion, just stiffer.

No, they do not raise the rear by much more than maybe a half inch.

I once used junkyard 245 springs and mounts on a sagging '72 144 and that was a good (and cheap!) comprimise.
