Default AU Ute rear springs

Hey lads ,ive bought an AU XLS ute , threw a medioca load in the back and the springs look flat not curved
Is there some difference is the carry load in XLS and maybe the 1 tonner version ???
If there is , can i put the 1 tonner rear springs in my ute ???
Maybe its the shocks ?? or are the springs shagged and need replacing ???
It still drive fine , no issue , but the tyres are up near the tray tie rail
Maybe im used to throwing the load in a 4by ute that doesnt have the spring movement as much ???
Ideas, suggestions ???

XLS springs at the same as XR, they don't take alot of weight.
You can add another leaf to increase carrying capacity, or go with 1 ton
Springs as said

Pretty much what both of the above said, 1 tonne springs will fit.
XR/XLS springs are good for ~650kg or so.
