Anyone running air bags with rear spacers?

I have a set of Firestone Ride-Rite air bags I am planning to install in conjunction with a rear spacer lift. Anybody running this combo? If so, what spacer? Looks like Cornfed would be no problem but not sure about Daystar. Pics or links appreciated. Thanks.

Won't make any difference either way.

I'll be installing my airbags with Daystar 1.5" spacers this weekend. The spacer goes above the bumper stop and the bumper stop is cut below that to fit in the airbag. So as mentioned, it won't make a difference whether or not you use it with a spacer.
 
I'm running airlift bags with Toytec spacers (whatever brand they use). No issues as mentioned above. They install as they would on a vehicle without.

Thanks for the assurance. Could you guys post some pictures of your installs? Curious what kind of contact area remains for the air bag to hit once the factory overload bumper is cut down, assuming these extend like an accordion to contact the top & bottom spring seats to provide their support, right? Or do they just "pooch out" like inflating a balloon to fill and maintain the gaps between the coil windings? Pardon my ignorance, I guess I am not 100% sure how they provide their support. After looking at Antman's post of his SAW coil install I am inclined to think more to the latter. Not sure it the Firestone bags are the same?
 
It's more of the big balloon idea that fills the entire coil. Check out airlifts website - they have some great videos on there that will show you exactly what the set up will look like.
