Has anyone used or installed these shocks on VW Atlas cross sports? What's your experience? Pointer to part number would be helpful.
I'm trying to figure best solution to keep rear end level while towing. With 350 lbs tongue weight, rear end sage about 2 inches and I'm guessing if I go to the max of 500 lbs, it will drop another inch. What other solution are there out there that people have used that really solve the problem without voiding the factory warranty. Car does not have auto leveling headlight either.

I can't find any reference to Nivomats that are made for Atlas.
Not to say you could not make something work - but it does not appear that there would be an easy way to set the height correctly.
The springs need to be swapped out with something that would work with the nivomats.
This is likely to be a tough project.
Perhaps it would be better to look at some airshocks with a controller.
It might not be too bad to get electronic leveling and adjustable rear height...
