As it is a daily driver, I put a couple bags of cement in the back wrapped in plastic bags, (96 kg, 211 lbs). This made a huge difference in daily ride satisfaction, but is occasionally inconvenient when I need to put larger items in the back.

The OME springs are designed for you to be carrying a constant load in the back of the vehicle. They ride like crap without it.
As for myself, I have a subwoofer, 2x 50lb. bags of sand, tools, a recovery kit and a Hi-Lift jack in the back. 285/75 spare tire and a tow hitch. I added the sand bags to get the ride height and ride quality I wanted. The LC 7.5 Wraps ride too high and are too jiggly without the extra weight. When loading up for camping/adventures, I remove the sand bags and they ride great and deal with my typical load.
The Downey Off-Road 3" linear rate springs I used to have were the best riding rear springs I've ever had on this truck. They also dealt with the loads I typically have for camping and I didn't need to have a 100+ lbs of extra weight back there all the time. I wish they were still in business...
