The front would be much stifer as rear springs are different to cope with the change in loading front springs loading doesnt change much with towing or carrying, vehicle would sit straight not in use but would lean to Drivers side with one occupant in.

its taken land rover engineers 50 odd years to design the suspension used on todays land rovers.
if they are supposed to lean , they are supposed to lean.
try this,
watch the front of your bonnet as you pull sharply away from the lights , you can see the engines torque pushing down on one side of it.now imagine pulling a two tonne trailer? the stiffer springs are to balance the vehicle. if you look you will find the prop shafts , tranny box etc all to one side of the vehicles centre , its all balanced to give the optimum road handling capability's.

at less than 15 quid each id replace all four , in fact i do. a vehicle which has its strong points set in its off road ability's should not be running on knackered suspension.
do the dampers as well.
