There is no kit but you need to find the leak to determine where to go.

Spray soapy water on the air bags in the rear and you may see this.

Then you will have found your leak.

05 Rainier shocks lose air overnight is there a kit to fix leak?

Are you talking shocks? Or air bags?
After two days sitting un-used, my Envoy would be sitting on the bump stops. There is a repair kit available from the dealer (Rock Auto might have it too).
It has a new spring, cover plate, Allen screws, gasket, and rubber part. Part # 15183676 compressor repair kit. I paid about $35 for mine from a dealer, but it was a special order.
When I took the compressor apart, the spring was rusted and in three pieces. The hardest part was getting the old Allen screws out.

When I powered up the parts Saab, the bags got pumped up. That was just before the winter. It took all winter before it got back down to the stops. I'm actually thinking of taking them and putting in my driver because the previous owner swapped in springs.

Look for leaks in the tubing and also the compressor not holding the air.
