I installed airlift 1000 in the rear hoping to add a little lift and level the vehicle as the front was pretty nose high when towing. Well, i no longer tow a trailer and thus no longer need the bags. The ride is just too harsh w/ the bags inflated...and you only get about 1" of lift.
The rear spacers have been sitting in my garage for about a year or so. I want to install them or get them installed.
Is it difficult to install the rear spacers w/ only hand tools, i.e., ratchet set and basic wrenches? I really don't want to go through the trouble of removing everything only to find that i am unable to loosen a nut w/out air tools nor do i want to pay for another install.
Can the spacers be installed w/out removing the bags? I would like to deflate the bags but leave them installed while i install the spacers? Or, would it be too difficult to install the spacers w/out removing the bags?
Thanks for all the help thus far.

Rear is easy. I did it without air tools. The hardest part is lifting truck high enough so you can drop rear axle to remove the springs. If my memory services me right, you just need to remove two nuts holding bottom of the shocks (one nut on each side) and remove the rear wheels.
Hope that helps.
