Default OEM ride height suspension recommendation?

Not looking to go up at all in height, just looking for a quality OEM replacement. I am new to leafs haha
I am going to always have 100 pounds or so in the trunk, and future plans to haul 500-1000 pounds on the regular weekend trips.
So definitely needs to be stiffer than stock in the rear.
Can anyone suggest something well suited for my needs?

OME leaf's / coils / shocks.

OME is the leader in ride quality

yea I need it to be harder/ more stiff in the rear
I care about ride quality,
but I care more about My suspension not sagging in the rear more.

So should I just add a leaf? or what? I know somebody has an answer out there.
Is rustys a good alternative?
obviously OEM is going to be really expensive I am trying to avoid that

not OEM but rather OME, it is a bit pricy but not only do you get ride quality but you get a stock ride height with extra carrying capacity. (they make an LD/MD and HD pack)

rusty's leafs are VERY soft....
