I did the same using AirLift bags and they only raised my already sitting level 24’ C 1/2”.
It was explained to me by Two AB companies that AB’s are designed to raise a sagging vehicle back up to level .
Before you install a set of AB’s to try to solve a scrapping clearance issue , i would make a few calls. I tried the wireless onboard compressor and it was leaking from day one.
A truck spring shop can install spacers and that will raise it to what you need. The overall height of the rv as well. Its possible that you might feel crosswinds a little more.
That makes no sense. A properly installed set of 5000 or 7500lb airbags would put a serious lift on the back of the rig at full pressure. Something wasn't right.
Yes they're designed to gain back excessive sag, but they will lift it way more than 1/2" past static ride height at max pressure.
Rear axle lift blocks are an option, but they aren't going to lift the whole vehicle, just give it a rake.
Firestone says this about their air bags and I found it to be true in my applications for both my 2500 GMC and my 32ft Cambria
"While adding air can cause your vehicle to ride an inch or two higher, air springs are not designed to raise your vehicle above factory height."
