How To Prevent Sag While Towing With a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg

Question

Question:

Hi! I have a 2014 VW Touareg with stock steel spring coilovers. When I tow my travel trailer with max VW spec tongue weight 620#, the rear of the car sags about an inch. Will this, or another product like it work to level my car when towing heavy? Any other ideas?

The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension part # CSS-1094R are exactly what you'll want to use to try and level a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg while towing. It is actually the only option available but nonetheless still a good one. These are also super easy to install as well so you can do this at home by yourself.
