The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 air bags have a designed height of 6". This is the distance that you will want in between your mounting flanges.

I recommend using the Air Lift Compressor System # AL74000EZ as this has a smart manifold to maintain the air pressure within 3psi of your settings.
