Help a fatty out

I'm a fatty and I daily an ej8. I'm heavy enough that I fatigued the rear driver coil and now the car leans pretty bad. So I'm posting because I'd like to know if there's a relatively easy solution. I need to beef up the rear suspension. Are there any plug and play alternatives to my stock suspension? I know I can't take the rear shock assembly from a CRV because the lower mounts are different. But can I swap just the springs? Can I use anything from Accords or other bigger Acuras?

I know that the real solution is to loose weight... I'm trying.

Thanks for the suggestion. The spacers will help to regain height but not increase weight capacity. I'm really looking for stronger springs that would fit the stock assembly or another compatible assembly.
