Default RX330 Load Leveller rear shocks airlift?

Anyone have any suggestions as to a simple load levelling solution for the (non-air suspended) RX? I had an airlift system on a previous car, but due to the RX's rear shocks being coil overs that solution will not work. Anyone accomplish this another way? It's really just an issue when i have 4 people, 1 big dog, and a trailer hitch STOWAWAY carrier on the hitch. The rear shocks are on the bumpers in this scenario.

thanks,

You could try getting new springs for the rear, or possible getting them stretched at a place that can do it. Or go to an auto parts store, and look for the rubber spacers that you can install in the springs.

you can get air struts for the rear, it would replace your current setup and would require either manual air input or on board compressor

Thanks. Ill look for new springs. Most of the ones out there seem to be either OEM or lowering springs. I like the idea of an adjustable solution so as not to ruin the ride when not needed, but I can't find any air solution that fits the truck.
