Default How does air suspension affect lifting options?

I bought a '14 a few months ago and it has air suspension on the rear axle. How, if at all, does this affect my options for adding a lift kit?

I don't think you will be able to... It may stretch the bags out too far. (Depending on the lift and the bag setup)

They make spacers that the air bag sits on. What brand of air bags do you have? Here's a link for Air Lift.

i have a 3" block installed in the rear along with the firestone ride-right airbags and there was no issues with having both. you will have an issue if you lift using new springs in the rear though.
