Stronger or higher springs?

Are this possible to find/buy a spring kit that RAISE the shocks a little? (NOT interested in lowering kits).
I have problems when i tow a heavy trailer (2 ton) the "rear end" is very low. and give me problems with my country's "popular" road bumps. They are everywhere.
The car is a 2014 C220 CDI Diesel T-model.
Or maybe guide me to a list where the paint dot color codes on springs means.
Here an example of springs with colour dots.

(AUTODOC have several springs with different colour codes) Maybe i can find a spring set, that are more stiffer instead of height.

Im not 100% sure but I believe the bilstein B6 shocks are for heavy duty. I also came across rear springs that say they are heavy duty.

Above the rear springs there is a rubber shim installed, they come in 4 different sizes. My W204 sport has 9mm shims, i believe regular suspension has 13mm, and they also have a 17mm shim part# 2103250484. That will make it sit higher normally.
