Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2014 Jetta Sportwagen
Published 12/24/2014
Question:
I recently installed a Curt hitch purchased from etrailer on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagon. The istallation was easy and the hitch works fine. The issue is low clearance on the rear end, particularly when there is luggage and / or a bike racked on the hitch. Can you recommend a product for a 2014 JSW that can lift the suspension all the way around or at least stiffen / support the rear suspension? Thanks

I want to start by thanking you again for ordering your hitch from etrailer.com. We truly appreciate your business.
I spoke with my contact at Firestone and if the coil springs on your 2014 Jetta Sportwagen measure just over 3-1/2 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length when the springs are bearing the weight of the vehicle, the Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4176, will work for you. These air springs fit inside your existing coil springs and help to level your vehicle, improve braking/handling, and reduce tire wear when hauling heavy loads.
