Firestone Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Suburban

Question

Question:

Will these bags work with a 2005 Suburban 4WD with the level ride suspension. I am asking because I tow a 5500-6000lb travel trailer and I still have some sag in the rear of the truck. I was looking for a little extra help in the back.
