Rear Suspension Enhancement To Prevent Bottoming Out On a Lowered 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

Hi i was wondering if these helper air suspension kits will work on my lowered 2016 silverado. I have a flip kit on the rear which lowered the vehicle about 6 inches. I bottom out sometimes when i have a heavier load and when i hit big dips at higher speeds. I am looking for a way to keep the rear suspension from bottoming out so easily. I no longer have the bump stops on the frame they where removed after installation of flip kit.
