Airbags on lifted truck

[villestrip]

What are my options for my 06 ccsb with an 8 inch lift? I need some bags for towing. I think airlift sells spacers for lifted vehicles but how do I know which size spacer to get? Anyone have bags with an 8 inch lift with some pics. TIA

ive got the set up your looking for, its dark here so i can take pics and post em up tomorrow for you. not only will you need spacers but the top mounting bracket will have to be flipped upside down to gain a few more inches. hard to explain but you will know what im talking about when i post pics. my setup is a firestone by the way.

Nobody has airbags on a lifted truck?

plenty of guys run them, you just get the firestone spacers, they even sell them for lifed applications. I dont run them cause they limit travel, and enjoy driving the truck in the dunes after I tow to them, so i dont run them. Most bags limit rear articulation to about 6 inches. BUT most suspension systems dont flex even that much. Best bags Ive seen made for off road/towing is from Carli, i did a 20 second internet search to find there site... this is a link to dodge bags, i have talked to them before, they make Ford bags too, you can probably find them if you search the site

Thanks Jetjock I've read a few posts you had elsewhere. And I've seen those spacers that you mentioned. I was just wanting to see if anyone had some pics of some. I found the ones ORU makes also but they are pricey for what they are. But I do like how they mount using the axle u bolts. I think I might buy the airlift ones and then make a similar lower bracket. Just looking to see what people with lifts are running.

Two One Up Offroad trucks have a bagged rear ends. I can tell you those trucks have some serious travel. Bags don't limit your travel, the way your suspension is set up does.

Thanks Layson that's a little more than I'm looking for. More along the lines of an overload airbags. These are the ones I meant from ORU. I really like the bottom mount seems more secure than the airlift or firestone.
