Change tag axle ride height?

A lot of times when you see this you also see a spacer between the truck frame and where the main frame of lift axle rides on frame, which lowers the whole unit not just the air bag part. Is that a 255 tire? Cause you could try running a smaller tire also but 255 are about as small as you get. You could try jacking truck up the amount of spacer even a little past and see if axle has enough droop or room to run without spacer. I would also try to contact the lift axle manufacture to see what its recommendations or specs are for that particular unit. Hope this helps you out.

I lift the back end up and drop the axle, it won't hurt the bags? There isn't any kind of a stop on it to keep it from over extending.
