I put Polyair bags inside the springs of my TW wagon yesterday, and they work quite well in lifting up the rear, and they give the option of adjustment, so if I carry a load in the back and have a trailer, I can put more air in them.
But when I started the job I didn't fully appreciate exactly what I would have to do to fit these, and if I'd known how ridiculously easy it is get the rear springs out, I would have just put in heavy duty King springs, which is the excellent advice given by others on this forum.
It turns out to not be a 2-person job: you just jack up the rear, remove the shock lower mount, then stand on the wheel, pushing it down, and jam a big block of wood on top of the wheel. The spring then falls out. Very easy.
