I have a great solution for you, but at this time we don't have air suspension available for your 2011 Nissan Quest.

Since it sounds like you are towing a better solution is actually a weight distribution system. A WD system actually takes and distributes the tongue weight of your trailer to the front axle of your tow vehicle which will improve braking and handling. A suspension enhancement setup will help your tow vehicle sit level when towing but it won't help the handling or braking.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
