I have the RC 1.5” rear lift block and want to add airlift 1000 bags. The RC block effectively seals off the opening at the top of the coil springs so there is no where for the air lines to go. The bolt for the block to frame comes right down on the airline. Has anyone else come up with a solution here?

I don't have air bags but I considered them at one time. During my research on bags I read people have put them in upsidedown on purpose, have to be careful routing the lines no doubt. Of course I went a different direction and have never done this myself. Good Luck.

Any reason you couldn't center drill the RC spacer?

I looked at doing that and it would be the same issue on the bottom unfortunately

I can (and did) drill the spacer, but it has to be offset as the spacer mounting bolt goes through the center. It sits all the way down on the airlift cap spacer and kinks the line.

I used a couple spare Rock Jock machined front jounce pads, and they worked for the rear. Fabricated two "nuts" that spanned the distance of the opening, and viola.

I am trying to picture that in my mind. Did you take any pics by chance?

Maybe cut a channel in the Airlift spacer then?
