Airbag suspension could be what you are looking for, pump it up if towing.

air bags for the rear to level would help but not with an all round lift for off road touring

I don't think you're going to find much mate. I ended up getting a bash-plate custom made for my Tig after not being able to source the factory one.

ive been told about h@r making lifted springs and city performance centre has given me a quote just waiting to here back if i need different shocks at same time or they can be used with standard ones ... also going to try wholesale suspension to see what they can offer

Air bags dont level the car when towing they only lift the rear and still leave the front blowing in the wind.
The only thing that levels it effectively is a Weight Distribution Hitch as per here.

yes i was looking at those for towing but as for the off road i was talking about uprated springs and shocks and struts no air bags
