Beefing up rear end

Hi, I have an 06 S and I put a hitch on it to pull light trailers for camping. Can some one suggest a good rear spring that I can use to help out the back end. I see a lot on the subject of lowering but nada on raising.

Thanks

not too many people are interested in raising their car, but you might try to contact the spring manufacturers directly to try and get a set of custom springs, all it takes is a phone call. I'd first try Eibach as they are a very big manufacturer of aftermarket springs and I do know that they've catered to customers needing custom springs before.

Bilstein offers heavy duty shocks for the 9th gen Corolla.

Dunno if they will raise the ride height, but they will certainly help in increasing the force it takes to compress the shocks at stock height as they have stiffer valving.

You may want to look into those.
