rear "load lifter" airbags

[89chevsj]

I'm looking at getting a set for my 89 chevy k1500 swb. it was lowered when i bought it, i cant get the leafsprings to come out so now my next option, bags. can I expect to get at least 2-4 inches of lift out of them? looking to gget some Firestone "ride-rite" bag kit. thanks

How was it lowered?
Drop shackles (with or without the front hanger)?
Flip kit?

it's a 4X4 so the torsion bolt were removed, thats it on the front. the back i think just one leaf was removed buti think the shackles were changed. i almost changed them but the bolt holding theleafs on in the back was seized and i didnt have the toolsto do anything about it. so i puta 2 inch blocki had under the back, but i got 2 more to go.

How much lift you get will depend on the springs you have. Considering it is a 4x4 I can't say for sure. On my 2wd 88-98's I had the bags your considering, and they did give me 3-4" of lift.

I'm only looking for the rear, my front will be easy, just to bolts. (of course thats what kept my rear all chopped and screwed haha)

nevermind i understand now. i thought 2wd 4wd leafsprings were the same for 1/2 tons? i think it should be the same. but thanks for the info I'll make sure before i buy.
