Can I use helper bags to level out rear?

I'm going to lower my '85 5" in front and 5" in rear,but what I have seen with this stance is the front is alittle higher,but had plan on using helper bags anyway when I pull my boat. Can these bags be used to level out the stance?
Is it possible to run a single air valve below rear bumper to air up both at the same time? Can anyone direct me to some trucks with a 5/5 drop?

Thanks for the help!

5/5 drop will have the rear higher than the front since GM trucks had a factory 'rake' (extra travel for heavier loads). You can do an air over leaf set-up to adjust the height like you described.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
