Bad back, caused by Jimny, solved by four concrete posts.
Just out of curiosity how old is your Jimny? It just sounds a bit like it's an older one with original tired factory suspension if as you say it's crashing about on speed bumps. It could be that it's bottoming out onto the bump stops. Mine was very similar for a while where loading it made it nicer but all it was actually doing was masking the tiredness. If however it's a late low mileage car then the ballast might have a place?

I replaced my springs with factory ones and dampers with standard height trailmaster. It made a healthy difference but mine was on 85k when I changed.

Before I could fully read this post I thought the title was accidently phrased the other way around. "Bad back caused by four concrete post solved by Jimny" Ha-ha.
So instead of considering correct manual handling technics I suggest to consider your safety in case of an accident! If I was you I would remove the unsecured concrete blocks and look for alternatives (HD steel rear bumper?)
Just an idea.
