adjustable ride height 300D turbo
When I carry a lot of weight in the trunk and back seat, the rear really sit low. Are there good adjustable air shocks available that I can pump up when needed?

The only thing that comes to mind is a air bags or better progressive rate springs. Since ';m a newbe I'll defer but airbags is how we dieal whith similar issues in trucks and SUVs.
A TD rear suspension conversion would be cool if possible since they had auto leveling suspensions but that means a new head and a whole bunch of other parts.

I doubt you would be happy with air shocks or air bags. If you cannot stand the low tail you could install a thicker spring pad or taller spring.
