Ultimate Suspension Options for X5's with Air-Sus and 3rd Row Seats

Okay, shout out to all the gurus, need your help!

I have been reading a lot and I am quite confused with a lot of the information about what suspension options are there for vehicles with the air suspension and 3rd row seating. Seem like almost none...

Before anyone jumps on me for not following Evan's post or similar. I have four kids and I do need the 3rd row. I also tow trailers so I want to keep the air suspension.

So what are my options to lower the truck and keeping good driving characteristics? Also, how do you guys deal with towing with a lowered truck?

Thanks!

Pic of my truck cause just like you all, I love staring at it.

Check Evan's post again. I believe at the beginning, before he removed the 3rd row and all, he was lowered with stock bags in the rear. Or I'm just completely misremembering and this is useless information

You are correct, lowered, but no shocks. I'm looking for a complete upgrade.
