Towing and better rear suspension
 
I have a 2005 Camry. I added a class 2 hitch and I have a motorcycle carrier that connects directly to the hitch. The problem is that when there is a load on the bike carrier the rear suspension sags pretty badly. What are my options for increasing the rear suspension to decrease/eliminate the sag? Thanks for the help!

RE: Towing and better rear suspension
 
Make sure you are under the max tongue weight for the hitch, for a Class 2 this is typically 350 lbs. The cars owners manual may also have tow hitch limits.

As to what to do.

You may be able to find coil springs with higher spring rates (stiffer), check with Toyota Racing Division (TRD) that makes after market parts. Make sure the springs don't lower the cars overall height.

There might be air bags for this suspension.

Toyota may have a SE version of this model that had stiffer springs.
