Fixing saggy rear w/coil over shocks?

I have read up on the zero-rates, seen add-a-leafs, etc. My dad put a set of coil-over shocks on his '88 Suburban for towing, and his '99 Silverado also has a set for towing.

I'm looking to get the rear up, just a tad, over the stock saggy butt. I will be towing with this thing in the future, but I don't want the rear up too much higher than the front.

Anyone tried these? I found Gabriel makes an application for these trucks (P/N 43093) and am debating on going this route. They say it adds ~500lbs of weight capacity.
