Nymphing lines are generally a heavier front taper to begin with so over lining makes no sense to me.
They are specialty tapers, so if you totally nymph or you pack two strung rods it could be an option.
Personally I don't see the use as I will switch to a dry when needed.
Maybe try Rio Grand or SA's GPX series which are 1/2 line heavier. They add a nice punch.
As for over lining, sinking lines are a smaller diameter line so going a size larger is not that noticeable. But floating line is a larger diameter for floatability. Also more wind resistance. So you long belly might be a choice.
Another suggestion is maybe trying a full sink or a longer sink tip line. No indy, but drifting. I prefer a Type II for wet flies, or to get lighter flies down, specially in faster water.
Your choice for sure, these are just my opinion.
