W166 Suspension Question

i have a 2013 ML550 with 36k miles. It does not have the air suspension option. My question is what can I do to stiffen up the ride a little so it is a bit more sporty and not so much like a land barge? The ride is great other than a little soft. Thanks.

We had the same issue with our BT. Ride was wayyy too smooth and steering wheel effort too light. We replaced the rear springs with H&R's, but didn't do the fronts (which are for sale, btw). I wanted to level out the truck, not just lower it. That, along with fatter tires, definitely made a difference.
