Default Heavy duty springs

I'm a new Volvo owner with an N registered petrol V70 T5 estate. I need to carry some glass which weighs heavy, around 400Kg I think. This will be on a regular basis and it would be handy to leave it loaded for days at a time.
The suspension seems to cope and the lights are self leveling, which surprised me, but it's well down on the suspension when loaded, OK when unloaded.
Is it worth fitting heavy duty/extra springing? Does it need anything else to complement extra springing. Where is the best place to get parts?
