Just recently installed airlift 5000 on my truck to help tow a car hauler trailer. I am now looking at 6” lifts. The bag mounts in the bump stop location. Anyone have a lift and the bags?
I was looking at procomp but their lift block throws a kink in it. Zone and a couple others relocate the upper arm at the axle, which mounts in the same spot at the lower bag mount.
If anything, I could piece a lift together. I really like the from drop the superlift and procomp provide.

No, its a 1500. I see people offer spacers like that. Will definitely need to go that route. Its just the potential of have to bolt multiple things to the same spot.

oh ok. gotchya. I went to the airlift website and they offer an angled lift bracket. Might stick with my Procomp lift choice and drill a couple holes in the lift block.

Yep, that would be what I would do. May not need to do anything other that drill a few holes in whatever piece comes with the lift. If that doesnt work, then you may need to buy a special spacer block.

I have a 6” and I’m going to be doing complete spring replacement in the rear to aid with picking up trailers without playing with a crank wheel. Air out rear, back under then air up. I plan to do almost what Chris did and fabricate some spacers. I’ll let you know how that works when I’m done. I take it your keeping spring and adding air to help hold ?

As of now yes.
