I'd like to get stiffer rear shocks for my 04 Odyssey. It already has the dealer installed towing package. It sags under heavy loads and I haven't towed a boat yet. Dealers show no listing beyond stock.
Any suggestions?

Same as my 2003- I understand the 2002 Ody springs are a little stiffer than the 2003/4 springs.
The problem isn't shocks - they stop bounce (which there is also too much of). I have thought about using "helper springs" to get rid of the sag under load, but really I want to stiffen the shocks and springs together. I still have this bookmark around for an example of Helper Springs:

I am not towing anything yet, so I haven't rushed out and done anything about it yet beyond think about it.
