lagunablue1 Great thread! I have only ever towed something once in my life (with my Armada) which has a rear air suspension (auto leveling).

For owners who do not have that option (or choose to remove it because it always fails and is overly complicated) they often get "coil helper bags" which are aftermarket air bags which fit in the coil spring and you manually inflate to get rid of the sag when towing.

Curious, would a setup like that work for the X3M to level it off?
That's a great idea! I've heard about airbags before for leaf spring trucks, but I didn't know they made coil helper bags. It looks like firestone makes 15-20 version of the kit, so it would just be a matter of measuring the inner diameter and length of the springs.

Actually - something like that would definitely allow one to lower their X3M on springs or MSS and still be able to tow. Definitely something to do a bit more research on...
