Default Lowered car WITH hitch AND saggy butt spacer

Does anyone have this combination?
- Trailer hitch (for bike rack)
- Lowering springs
- Saggy butt spacers (1/2" or 1")

I'm looking at the H&R Sport springs (1.4"F/1.3"R) but I've already got extra sag from the hitch.

I'm debating between the 1/2" and 1" saggy butt spacer for this setup but leaning toward the 1" to account for added load weight.

I'm on the H&R springs, no butt spacers or hitch though so can't really comment on the combination.
Looking at my car you'd probably want a slight lift in the rear if you are mounting a hitch and planning any kind of towing. I've had the springs on for over a year and they have settled considerably from when I first installed them.

Good to know! My last car had some fairly stiff springs so they didn't settle too much but I'm not surprised that softer rate springs would settle more over time.
