Default DS01 Eaton rear leaf 175 rate spring vs normal 126 rate

Has anyone used DS01 Eaton rear leaf springs? It has a 175 rate (for heavy duty use), vs the normal Trans Am 126 lb spring rate.

I have original rear springs in my 1981 Trans Am, looking to stiffen up the rear suspension and get a little lift back in the rear. A full tank of gas or passengers brings the back down too low for my taste. I am on the fence whether I want that stiff of a spring, my fronts are Moog 590 springs with a 1/2 coil cut. Their original spring rate was 399, I estimate approximately 420 spring rate now after cut. Factory front 1.25" sway bar, .75" rear sway bar. Going for a "spirited daily driver".
