While I can help you with all the parts you will need you will need to contact your dealer to determine the exact towing capacity on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. They will have to look up the build information on your Pathfinder to determine what all parts were installed from the factory to increase towing capacity on your specific vehicle.
For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR which you will be able to connect with the Plug and Play Harness # RED39FR. This harness will connect to the factory 7-way and will also work with the Tekonsha Harness # 118273 if your Pathfinder only came with a 4-way.
The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL63WQ will fit inside your rear coil springs. If you are only needing the suspension enhancement when you are towing you will get a much better experience using a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET. The Equal-i-zer helps to transfer weight more evenly across your vehicle rather than only reducing rear end sag. It also incorporates sway control to help keep the trailer tracking straight behind your Pathfinder on highways and in strong winds.
