Do fellow owners routinely uprate the rear suspension to cope with the change in weight distribution?

There’s quite a lot of talks on forums about adding air suspension to the rear. I assume it’ll stiffen it up and raise the rear end, but I struggle to see how it’ll solve the weight distribution issue?

Ha, I've never even driven a pick-up. I'm guessing the standard leaf spring suspension is rated for filling the load bed with 'stuff', not with an overcab 'Toppola'-style caravan.
Just thought uprated suspension might cope with the additional weight and moment(?) from the rear overhang better.
