If you're referring to the Ironman suspension, I don't see why you'd need the rear airbags. You'll be getting more lift from the aftermarket suspension than anything the factory airbags could ever offer, eh. (Had to put in the Canadian "eh")
And as far as I know, there is not anyway to keep the factory airbags when adding a suspension lift.

Hey what size hex head was that?Here is one solution for reaching that tricky rear hex screw on the control actuator. I actually watched someone on youtube drill hole through the engine compartment to remove it....

I wasn't able to find any great info on a spacer kit install for a newer Luxury GX. Turns out to be a little of a project. All told it took about 5 hours for the two of us. This was definitely a two man job. I'll add more to this tutorial as time permits. The plan for the vehicle is KO2's on 17'' wheels with rock sliders in the near future. Patiently waiting for all terrain tires to arrive for now...
For now enjoy the before and after
Spacer used: Front Suspension Lift Kit

Are your bags in normal or High height?
That is a great question.Anyone who has done the front spacer, after the install does the front luxury shock have enough compression to still hit the factory bump stop before bottoming out?
The problem you're wanting to avoid is that the spring spacer could allow the spring to coil bind before full travel is reached, right?
You could jack the suspension up so the wheel is at full droop, and then measure the gaps between each coil on the spring and add it up. The front motion ratio is .53 to 1 (the shock moves about half as much as the wheel). You want the sum of the coil gaps to be comfortably greater than the total suspension travel.
With the front struts another possible problem is the shock bottoming out before the bump stop is fully compressed. I think Tinkerer's video on toyota IFS says how much additional compression travel the stock front shock has. The spacer should be less thick than that to avoid the shock bottoming.
I would think that no manufacturer would sell spacers that would cause the shock to bottom out before the bump stop but the 2" spacer lifts are in that territory.
