My 2012 xc70 unfortunately is a FWD with weak rear springs or payload capability; anybody know which springs or shocks might help lift rear or hold more weight capacity?
I have a couple bags of tools that I tend to set in back- where I was told is the rear behind rear seat payload of like 200 pounds only, so I will move that stuff forward , but still I want more
height at rear from the suspension. Any help on springs or shocks that would fit and help ?

 

I really doubt if there's an aftermarket kit considering a FWD XC70 would be rare (pretty sure only the AWD came to the states) so your more likely choice is to install new springs in the rear and then go with something like a Bilstein B6 HD shock. You may be able to research what the stock spring rate is and get something heavier or see if the rear springs from an AWD model fit or you may find a custom aftermarket spring to meet a height/compression spec (say from an offroad shop). Even if you go with stock springs, after 10 years and a 100K or more miles, stock springs will soften and fresh OEM springs may do the trick.

 

thank you - just found out that they are broke - so thats why its squatting - now to find best price for replacements
