The Curt Trailer hitch receiver # C13563 you were looking at for your 2007 Nissan Quest only has a 300lb tongue weight rating which is not enough for your 250lb electric chair and 70lb carrier.

Since this is the only hitch available, I instead recommend getting a small trailer to carry the wheelchair.

You will need to check the tongue weight rating and towing capacity of your vehicle by checking its owner's manual and using the lower rating between the vehicle and trailer hitch receiver.

Since you mentioned air helper springs, I recommend going with the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4118 as we have found them to be a bit higher quality than the Air Lift version, but keep in mind these will only fit if your quest is a 4WD model. If it is a 2WD model there is not an air helper spring kit currently confirmed to fit.

I included a link to the written instructions of the # 75159 for you to take a look at.
