Yet another "lift" question

I've got a 2" leveling kit and Firestone airbags installed on my 07 SCrew 4x4. I'm looking at getting the Rancho 4" lift kit. This might be a dumb question, but do I need to remove the leveling kit and airbags for the 4" lift, or can I keep at least the airbags installed with the lift? Anyone running a setup like that?

You can keep the air bags as well as the leveling kit.

The air bags will have to be modified to work.

Modified how Thumper? Does anyone recommend ditching the airbags for an alternative way to bring up the rear end?

You'll have to build a bracket to put the airbag higher up since the the distance between the frame and axle will be a lot greater. One member did it, I can't recall his s/n off the top of my head though. I'd just use the Blocks that the kit has and an add-a-leaf.

Damn, I knew I should have gone in the AAL to begin with. Thanks for the advice. I've got till Christmas to decide what I want to do.

You can use an AAL. However, that won't help much if you load up your bed, it will still sag. I might want to keep the bags or get super springs. I added super springs and it leveled out my truck and I keeps my back from sagging when I load it up.

I've got sorta the same problem. but im interesting in the 6in. from Fabtech. I know the make an adapter that goes on the air bag its self. Between the mount and the bags. I'm trying to find these parts now . but im not having any luck .it might have even been a JC Whitney catalog. I do think the ones I saw were for a 6 in. lift . I'll keep looking .
BY THE WAY THIS IS MY FRIST POST. REALLY LIKE IT HERE!!!!!!!
