While we don't have any suspension enhancement components that fit your 2019 Toyota RAV4 at this time (September 2019) we have a better way to fight rear suspension sag from towing a heavier trailer. For that you'd want a weight distribution system. The hitches for your vehicle like the Draw Tite part # DT82QR are rated for weight distribution as well.

The big advantage a WD system has over suspension enhancement is that not only does it reduce sag, but it improves braking and handling since it moves some of the tongue weight of the trailer up to the front axle of the tow vehicle.

The Fastway kit part # FA92-00-0600 would be a great option for the towing capacity of your vehicle as it has a tongue weight range of between 300 and 600 lbs and since it uses trunnion bars it also has decent ground clearance when compared to the round bar types of systems. I attached a review video for this system for you to check out as well. For a 2 inch hitch ball you'd then want the part # EQ91-00-6080.
