would also get some spring stoppers just in case, helps with full load in back and caravan weight.

depends a lot on the weight that you are towing,I tow a 1500kg van with mine but its a v6 so copes well

My 2.2DTi estate tows a 1200Kg (unladden) caravan with ease. As mentioned above I also fitted some spring assistors as well just to stop the springs going full travel.
