Towing a Jetski trailer
Stats:
2002 Maxima SE w/2004 SE rims/tires and not lowered.

I don't post here much and I am not sure why I can't search but I want to know if there is a way to tighten up my rear suspension for towing. I was thinking there might be airbags to put in the rear springs or something. I don't want to do something permanent. I already have the hitch installed and tried towing my 2 ski trailer last night. Power wise it was fine and even with my 18's I never bottomed out or rubbed. It felt a little bouncy in the back but with a 400 lbs. trailer and my STX-R which weighs 650 lbs. I can understand why.
I normally use my Jeep to tow my Jetskis but later this month I am taking a 400 mile trip with some friends to go jetskiing. There is no way I am driving my Jeep this far because the hum of the mud tires sucks and the gas mileage is even worse. Does anyone know where I can find airbags or something like that? Any other ideas? Thanks.

For a quick, temporary, and relatively cheap fix, get a coil spring spacer. They come in different types, some are made of metal and twist in between a coil. Others are made of rubber. Either type keeps the coil from compressing, thus keeping your ride more level and stable.
