Not sure I agree. If the rear is heavy enough that the rear is sagging, adding a leaf to bring it back to factory spec should not make for a harsh ride.
Yes, the springs have become weaker over the years. An added leaf should restore their deflection per pound/force.
Of course if the IS something that concerns you, another option to restore ride height without adding to spring rate is to have a SPACER added. Did that on our Safari DP with leaf spring suspension. Worked just fine. Note: Did not do it because of sagging axle, but side to side lean due to all heavy things on one side of the coach.
But all that extra metal does nothing to improve the ride.
Where as adding air bags to sagging leaf springs improves the ride.
