Default Air shocks for the rear of my 2 door?

I tow a 8' x 10' aluminum trailer around on the weekends to pick up lumber, landscape material and stuff like that now that I sold my pickup. I also will be towing our Seadoos once in a while to the lake when the weather warms up. The rear sags pretty good with the trailer hooked on it and I was wondering if I could put air shocks on the rear and add some air in them to jack up the rear end a little. I put air shocks on my old Chevy ZR2 pick up after I cranked up the torsion bars up frt to gain a inch or so of lift. Then I would pump up the rear shocks up with air till the rear was high enough for me. Anyone ever try this with a JK or do they even make air shocks for our Jeeps? Thanks guys for some info.

thanks guys. Them air bags look pretty sweet but I was looking for a cheep, easy bolt on solution like plain old air shocks. If anyone knows where I could find some please let me know. I also have a 2.5" BB that will be going on when I have some extra time so I was going to use the shock extensions on them that came with the kit.
