From my research my 2012 TDI Lux does not have factory air suspension installed. Also after looking through the forum, only certain years have them installed and 2012 was not one of them. I am wondering if anyone has had air suspension installed on a 2012 model and how/where did they get it professionally installed?

For reference: The purpose for my interest in doing so is to improve handling while towing. I plan to pull a travel trailer with it, pretty good size but toward the upper end of the tongue weight at 574lbs. Thanks in advance for any input!

A struggle indeed… I appreciate the post! Definitely not worth having done professionally at that price. Plus I’ve had the thought that due to the unique vehicle not many people have experience working on it anyways, and especially not for a job like this one. For those that DIY, do you have any insight on what suspension products they installed themselves?

My guy, I can 100% understand wanting the immense benefits of air suspension for a host of reasons. But, to justify a measly 574lb tongue weight? That's quite a stretch.

This is over 1,000lb tongue weight. Angle of the driveway exacerbates the perception of squat. I don't think you should worry about the piss in a bucket 574lb squat unless you're planning on loading the heck out of the town vehicle
