Unhappy replacement Rear Shocks/coils for 09 Fit

I have a 09 Honda FIt, I like to upgrade the rear shocks and Coils to make the rear suspension not drop so dang low with 300 pounds of weight in the back.

Is the 08 or 07 and the 09 shocks the same?

Please do not be rude people. Please give me some help.

Thank you for your time and help.

Firestone Industrial Ride-Rite Coil-Rite air helper springs kit, part number 4183, will help. Firestone Industrial Products Company
They install inside the coil springs in the rear, and stiffen up the coils.

I ordered a set for our Fit for $130 from our local RV dealer. They do take about 4 weeks to get since the factory has to make them. Still waiting.

The AirLift air helper springs in my Buick help a lot with transporting lots of stuff in the trunk for work every day. They installed fairly easily, with the hardest parts being deciding on the air line routing and stuffing the bags inside the coil springs.
