Airbag advice for towing

Gotcha. So you don’t have to technically remove anything? Springs, etc.

Technically no, I’ve seen videos of it being done without removing them. Practically speaking it’ll be a lot easier if you remove them. The drivers side will pretty much fall out once you remove your shock from the lower mount in the rear diff and jack up that corner, so I don’t see a reason not to just remove it. The passengers side is harder to get out and will probably require disconnecting the sway bar at the frame (it’s just one bolt to remove, but tricky to realign when reinstalling that bolt).

Didn't want to start a new thread, probably a pretty quick answer from this crowd. I put Kings in front (fantastic) set to a ~2" lift and Dobinson MRRs in back (TBD, still working on the right settings) with stock springs. I was going to raise the rear a touch with some rear spacers but also want to put in airbags for when I load it up for camping or future towing. My question is, how much lift (if any) do I gain when I'm running around unloaded in back with the minimum 5psi in the airbags? I'm trying to decide what rear spacers to order to keep it level and prefer to not pull the rear springs multiple times.

Not much, though it’ll depend on your springs and weight as to how much they’re supplementing. TBH I ran mine with basically no pressure for a while except when inflated for towing and it didn’t hurt the bags so that’s always an option.
