Carli L.T. Air bags

I just got done installing a Rize 8" kit on my truck and when I hooked my toyhauler up it sqautted about 3". I was wondering if the Carli system would work as is or would I have to manufacture some kind of spacer for it to work. I do have the full 8" deaver spings packs plus a 2" block in the rear. Suggestions would be appriciated.

8"lift? or 8" springs plus 2" spacer= 10"? If it's just an 8" the bags should work fine a 10" might be pushing it depends how much droop you have.

I run them on a 6" lift with plenty of room to spare. Either way if you needed spacers they would be very easy to make

Thanks fot the info liftman, they are 8" springs plus the 2" block but I dont think they are a true 8" spring so i might be safe.

Here are a couple pics, this is the first time I have tried to put pics on here so I hope it works. The kit is pretty straight forward to install, the only problem I ran into was installing the shock towers, I had to clock the turbo about 2" to make it fit. The regular kit is about $2700, but I added trailing arms, deaver 8" rear springs and the King shocks.

Good looking truck bud, and those Deaver's are soft. I would say the Carli bags would work out, but give them a call, and see what the source has to say. Good luck to you.
