I may have a solution for you, but the AirLift 1000 # AL61730 are not a confirmed fit on the 2012 Kia Sorento and there are not any suspension enhancements available for your vehicle. Additionally, these types of systems don't work to "lift" your vehicle and much as they reduce the sag when you connect a trailer; the good news is that there are other ways you can help fight off the sag you might be getting when towing.

I recommend using a weight distribution hitch, which is designed to help reduce some of the stress on the rear end and distribute the weight of the trailer you're towing over both axles in the vehicle; the reduction in sag helps reduce stress on your suspension, as well as create more stability and less sway when towing. Overall it's going to provide the same benefits as a suspension enhancement like the AirLift 1000, with some added benefits as well. You'll want to choose your weight distribution based off of the tongue weight of your trailer, but something like the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR would likely be a great choice. The TrackPro provides both weight distribution and sway control, and is designed for trailers with up to 600-lbs tongue weight so it will work well for a small camper trailer.

I've linked our entire selection of weight distribution hitches for you in case you want to do some looking through your available options; these can be sorted by tongue weights.
