Default Rear shock options 2019 Disco SE without air

Looking for some options for my 2019 Discovery SE for rear shocks/struts. I tow a boat with it and it does great on the towing but does have some sag. Since the SE is not air suspension, looking for options for aftermarket air shocks or more heavy duty shocks I can replace in the rear. Very hard to find anything except the air shock options as I think most had the air options except the SE back then.

Replacing Shocks will not improve on sag unfortunately. There are aftermarket air bags/springs that can be installed inside the factory coils. Unlikely any that are specified for late model discoveries, but you can probably find a size/application that works.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that but it seems like on this Discovery it is a spring with a strut inside it. That makes it hard to fit in something like an air helper bag. Really not much options out there at all for the non air shocks. Almost like an afterthought on doing that model without air shocks.

Ah, I was thinking the rear. Shocks and springs are independent on the rear.

I will take another look at it in the AM but it is the rear and it looked like the strut was inside the coil versus separated. However in looking at the diagrams you sent that may just be some type of insert inside the coil.

There's a bump stop inside the spring that will need to be cut or removed. No shock.
