Does anyone run a rear lift spacer with in coil spring air bags for towing?

Has anyone found a 1/2 inch spacer that fits the rear coil springs on a 2019 Ram Rebel? I need one for the drivers side lean

I have seen quite a few rear spring parts listed for gen4 and 5. I'm pretty sure it will and I would try it. Which I might soon

Just thought I’d post this here to help others, since this is the first post that pops up when looking for rear spacers.
I have a 2020 Ram Rebel. I had the Ready Lift with upper control arms installed. I also installed the Air Lift air bags. Well the air bags aren’t tall enough for the Rebel springs and don’t do much good.... and the leveling kit made it look slightly nose high on the drivers side and dead level in the passenger side. It looked funny on the drivers side and it was drastically exaggerated when I hooked up a trailer.
Today I installed the Motofab 1” rear spacer and some 1” e-trailer air bag heat protector spacers for the air bags.
They both fit perfect and fixed both of my problems

I was checking out your post because I am looking to lift the rear of my 19 Rebel 1/2-3/4. I have the airlift bags and they go all the way to the bottom of the coil. I don't have the gap like you do. I want to use a lower spacer but don't have that gap.

Reviving this thread to ask if there are any new options for rear spacers under 1".

Ill order rear bilsteins and coil springs if I decide on an inch.

Does adding the rear spacer make the truck ride any rougher? Also, Will the factory shocks (Bilstein) that come with the Rebel work ok with the spacer added?

I was getting myself all set to install the motofab rear 1"spacer, then I thought "would it make more sense to replace my non-orp springs with the longer ORP springs?". I have the Ready Lift 2" level in the front and want to restore a little rake for towing purposes. Would the ORP rear springs have the same effect as the spacer? Pros and cons?
Related - do i need longer shocks with either option? Thanks in advace. I've learned so much from you guys on this forum. It's much appreciated!

You need new shocks with the 1" longer springs.
Bilstein 5100's are $200 for the rear pair. Then their are a few coil spring options like the ORP, Bilstein, Icon ect that provide the lift.
But you need a longer shock to handle the longer spring.

Thank you. Do i not need a longer shock with the spacer? In my mind the math is the same.

Im no expert and dont know that for sure.
I only know with the longer spring you need a new strut.

I’m in the same boat. From what I understand, the OEM shocks aren’t designed to accommodate a 1 inch lift (achieved either through a spacer or extended coil springs). I don’t have the ORP package and found a set of the ORP shocks (new takeoffs) on eBay from a reputable shop for around $50 shipped.

Do you have the part number handy? If not no worries I'll find it.
