Sounds good But will they fit in McGaughy 4" rear drop Springs?

I did a 2/3 drop because I tow too. Depending in the load it would look like a 2/4 drop w trailer. Yes air bags would help w heavy towing.

They fit in my Belltech 4" springs for the short time I was lowered. Just leave out the spacer and install the bags only.

Have these already installed on Hellwig 7709 rear sway bar, Came with McGaughy kit.
If I raise the rear back up 1" I have to lengthen the sway bar links for proper geometry.
