Default whats the best way to carry more weight?? shock replacement with ranger, or 2x ?

i want to carry more weight, such as when i carry two adults during hunting season, along with a deer, and hunting gear. 2 adults 400+ pounds, add a deer to a rack, then its about 600 pounds of weight. i dont want the *** end squatting....i have seen the front replacement springs for $50.00 bucks. im looking for the rear now. whats the easiest way?? can i just buy a set of shocks from a 2 man sportsman, or maybe a ranger, or 6x6 sportsman?? ?? i saw something about this a few years ago, but cant remember.

its not so much as the shocks as it is the springs that need replacing. some have put atp springs on as well and theres after market compains that offer the heavier springs as well.

Spring spacers used when plowing will help eliminate the sag, plus you can remove them easily after hunting season. I have the X2 800, and threw the deer on the front and wife on the back, no problems!!! Never would question the weight difference either!!
