you would have to take out the pump under the hood, remove ol air lines, install springs for it and also new shocks all the way around. you can get the type of air shocks that can be adjusted manually at a decent price.

i would suggest cargo springs in the rear with a manual adjust air shocks... manual adjust air shocks in front will give more clearance also. how thick are your sidewalls?

In answer to your question about using the spacers with the air bags, no. The air bags lock into the seat on the pad part of the diff housing. Without that seat, they will come out, under pressure, and that ain't no fun.
