Hello all. Has anyone found a good alternative to their rear airbags that would give a little lift as well? I have a 2012 Limited with the self leveling system for towing and I don't want to get rid of that capability but want to lift that back up a little bit to match the small lift I did up front.

I'm looking for the same. I need to replace my airbag on my 2007 (3rd Gen) and if I'm going to change all the shocks and suspension why not going with a lift. Lets see if we can get some advice here

It's out there. Search more. It involves lengthening the rod that the sensor is on. There is a dude that sells the assemblies for $50 or $80 or so. U can diy it with some allthread, etc.

So just an update to my previous post. I had originally did a Ranchero Quick Lift up front which gave me about 1.5 inches of lift in the front to "level it out" but I personally had an issue with the look of the wheel well looking higher than the back. I realized it was going to happen but over time I didn't care for the look so I then decided to replace my rear struts/airbags and was able to get the look I wanted. I went with the Strut Masters replacement struts (https://www.strutmasters.com/collec...tion-rear-air-suspension-conversion-kit-fx3rb) for the rear and ordered a 1.5" spacer lift in the rear (https://www.ebay.com/itm/263823796751) off Ebay. The stance now looks like it did from the factory but now with a 1.5" lift all around.. I like the look better.. I will say though that the ride is not as good as I had hoped.. it does bounce around a little in the back but its not too bad.. I get no errors at all but I think part it is that I disabled the self leveling system so it does remind me each time I turn it on that its off and I just hit the reset button and it goes away.. not a big deal. Now I hope to fit some 33" Micky Thompson Baja tires on it!
