Will Air Bags Improve Ride Quality and Sag for 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Towing a Trailer
Question:
Hi I pull a small Coleman Pop-Up trailer with my 2012 Jetta Sportwagon TDI. It does a fine job, but the back is lowered by the tongue weight. Would the Firestone Air Bags provide me with a level car and better suspension? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The best solution for sag and poor ride quality caused by towing a trailer is weight distribution and not suspension enhancement. But the hitches for your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen are not rated for weight distribution. The next best ting would be suspension enhancement.
Firestone kit # F2158 can be used with Coil-Rite system # F4176 which fits your Jetta SportWagen. They will provide a better ride and decrease sag caused by carrying a heavy load. I have linked the installation instructions for you to view.
