My buddy (unfortunatelly injured) lent me his KTM 300 for the rest of the season.
I just go to his home (Langley) when I want to borrow it.
So this is what our Deli looks like with a 250lb bike + 50lb rack.
Shot is at Vedder Mtn, Chilliwack.

Dirt bike and rack approx 310lb (dirt/gas). It does sag a bit when on level ground.
In this picture I was parked on a slight slope.

My bike rack + 4 DH bikes weigh approx. 260lb. There is almost no sag. Yes, bike rack weighs 100lb.

If I was to dirt bike on a regular basis would most likely do what Falco did and have work done to the leaf springs.

I'd just throw in some airbags, even used would work.

Don't I need a coil set up for airbags?

perfect! I've dreamed of a setup like this since before even getting a delica 4 years ago :)

Now all I need is a good hitch install, the rack, and a KTM dirtbike :-D (my dualsport weighs around 500lbs)

Forgot the l300's are springs.. Not sure if you can get airbags for that but I suspect so.

I don't have a deli but are these Deli's a solid axle in the back? If so a universal bag system mounted between the axle and a good mounting point if available would work jsut fine.
If not you could try and look into a bag over spring setup, It would have to be custom mounts but its do able. Just gotta find the bags to fit! :-D
Good luck and Get R DUN!

Both Firestone and Air Lift have applications for mitsu pick ups. They should be very similar to Delica's.
