Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD
Question:
I tow a camper trailer with my 2020 Toyota 4Runner and I'd like to know what i can do to provide more support to the rear suspension so that it doesn't sag as much. What do you recommend?

There are two great options for suspension support that fit your 2020 Toyota 4Runner 4WD with the Timbren kit part # TTORSEQ or the Firestone Coil Rite part # F4135. They each have distinct advantages but I think you'll be happiest with the Firestone.
Timbren kits are easiest to install and maintain as they basically install once and you never have to worry about them, but their drawback is that they have a tendency to make the unloaded ride quality rougher. So that's overall why I'd recommend the Firestone kit as it allows you infinite support adjustability so you'll have the support when you need it without causing the ride quality to be rough when not towing. You do have a install that's a bit more involved that requires running air lines though and you do have to monitor the air pressure as needed. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2012 Toyota 4Runner for you to check out as well.
For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 will make inflating the bags and maintaining them very easy. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle as well.
