We have two rear suspension alternatives for a 2011 Odyssey. The # THROD2 from Timbren which would replace the factory bump stop in the coil spring or the # AL60815 air helper spring from Air Lift which installs inside the coil spring as well, but would work along with the factory bump stop.

Either system has their advantages and disadvantages. The correct choice depends on what and how often you tow or haul and whether or not the amount of weight you carry or tow varies. The Timbren system doesn't require any adjustment, and doesn't have any air hoses or bags to leak, but the Air Lift system allows you to vary the amount of pressure in the system according to the way the rear suspension is loaded.

If the load you carry is of a consistent weight which doesn't vary much, the Timbren system would be what I recommend. If the amount of cargo and passengers in the van varies, you'd be better off having the ability to adjust the firmness of the suspension with the Air Lift air bag system.
