Default Air Bags.

It's been mentioned to stifen the rear suspension for towing to install air bags.

Anyone know of a distributor for them?

On a similar note, is there a lift support system available for the hood? Really don't like the hood rod thing.

I used the Firestone Coilrite 4182 kit and it works great. It doesn't alter the normal ride height but stiffens the rear to stop sagging and it helps handling depending on what pressure you run. I generally run 15psi and 25psi when towing. They took me about an hour to fit and it wasn't hard.
It was someone on this forum that suggested them as well as the gas struts for the hood which work great as well as lifting it higher. I got them from eBay by looking under Outlander parts and I think the brand was sokkie or something like that. reasonably priced and eaisly fitted.
Hope this helps

There is no difference between 2010 and 2011 in the suspension.

I know im late with this but just wanna share this one. I hope this would help, if you are still finding or might want a lift support system my friend suggested it to me and i just want to share it because i just recently bought a lift support here. And i think they have it here. Check Here: Strong Arm Replacement Lift Supports

Depends on the driver really bud... If your careful and are just using them for towing then no problem but if you go 4 wheeling you might not want to use them. They are quite durable though. Very thick plastic. Put them in the sun or bucket of hot water before install.
