Thats why I put in the RAS, improves ride quality over stock when unloaded and even more so when it is loaded, taking it on the first long tow friday.

Plus I can't help but think they would then also help when I come home from Home Depot with a full bed and an empty wallet...

The stock springs already have a "overload" leaf, and the stock shocks don't have enough rebound control for that, so by adding another "overload" spring you now have even less rebound needed...
Unless you're talking airbags, adding anymore spring rate even if "staged" means the shocks suck worse...

Please don't talk about ride quality AND the stock shocks in the same sentence...

I like my Ride-Rites, air bags allow you to control the amount of assist with the air pressure. You can also run different pressures in each bag to level an uneven load or compensate for a severe crosswind.
