Hey Steve, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1069 is definitely going to help, but ultimately the best way to reduce sag while towing is to use a weight distribution system.
If you can let me know what your tongue weight is of your trailer when loaded up ready to roll, I'd be happy to make some suggestions I think you'll like. Or, if you'd rather use a tow vehicle suspension upgrade let me know what year your Audi Q5 is and I'll help you out there.

Thanks for your response Bryce. My Audi is a 2015 TDI. My first choice would be a weight distribution hitch and bars, but according to Audi, it's not recommended for this vehicle because the insertion points for the hitch receiver into the uni-body channels puts stress on the welds and can cause fatigue cracking when the load leveller is tensioned.
