Default Helper Bags for towing with 2/3 drop

I have a 09 ECSB Sierra SLE with a Belltech 2/3. Currently all that is installed is the 2" drop shackles. I tow a 18' dual axle open car hauler. I want to install the remainder of the kit and a set of helper bags to level the truck out when hauling. All of my searching brings up comments that helper bags are not needed for that drop. I realize it's a minor drop...and it tows just fine the way it is, the rear end just sags a little. I want to be able to level the truck with a load and retain a level look when unloaded. I'm having problems selecting the proper kit. Kits are either for stock height or 4"+ drops. Has anyone installed helper bags on NNBS with a 2-3" drop in the rear?

Hey Chris-
Running the Firestone Ride-Rite 2320 on my NNBS, while not designed for the boxed frame I sent a PM earlier with modifications made to install.

They work great and would recommend to anyone loading up the bed or hooking up to a load with a decent hitch weight.
