Here's the deal. I have been running Airlift bags for about 130,000 miles no issues. Most of that time I have been running SAW 1.5" coils in the rear with the "stock length" air bags, no issues. My truck has seen max flex a ton!
By all means though, call Airlift and get the correct length according to them- it's their product and they are the experts- BUT - The bags do not need to touch the bumpstop or the perch, in fact fully flexed those bags pretty much stay in the middle of the spring with an air gap on both ends.
The bags fill the voids between the spring coils preventing them from compressing fully under weight, that's how they work. They don't stretch too much in length and push the spring that way.
Short answer= Get the recommended length from Airlift if you can. If you can't, stock length will work fine.
