Sage Carli sells long travel airbags for his 3" suspension lifts. You might call and talk to Jesse or better yet Baja Mike. www.thecarlisuspension.com

You don't need any special air bags if you've got factory leafs. You just get the Firestone ride rites, they mount to the frame and leafs.

Is there a reason for not using the air bag spacers under the "normal" air bags such as the firestone ride rites if you don't need the travel?

well the firestones on my brother truck are mounted at the base of the leafs not on top of them. And after looking at the lift on my truck the u bolts and the top plate make it nearly impossible to mount the bags on the top of the leaf springs therefore i would have to go from the axle to the frame.
