Default Air Lift bags with rear lift blocks?

Has anyone done this? I put the bags on last night and have lift blocks siting in the garage, but it looks like I will need to modify the blocks to get them to work with the brackets for the air bags. Truck is a 05 super crew 4x4.

What is the part number of the Air Lift kit you are trying to use? How big are your lift blocks?

I am using the Load Lifter 5000 part number 57200. The lift blocks are from Pro Comp. They are are 3" block which will give 1 1/2" of lift.

I would recommend using the 57200 along with our spacer kit part number 52130. https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/52130/

This will be a great setup with the lift blocks, let me know if you have any questions.

I have the spacer kit #52130. It looks like the ear on the new lift block is positioned higher that the stock one to come in contact with the bump stop. I'm thinking this will get in the way of the bracket that sits on top of the rear axle.

I have not seen any issue with the bumpstop wing being in the way, but maybe your blocks are made a little differently. Anyway you could snap a couple of pics of the set up?
