Cool Ride rite air bags?

Has anyone that has installed rear air bags on their titan and needed to do an oil change or change out tires with access to a lift had to disconnect the air bags before putting it up in the air? Sounds like a big hassle.
Thanks.

I have a set of air-bags that I haven't installed yet so I don't have an answer. I do have a question. Why would you have to disconnect them?

Cool

If you raise the truck from the frame the bags will over extend because the axle will sag away from the frame. This is what I have heard. Don't know if it is true.

That makes sense. I'll look into it.

I have had these on my truck for several years. So far there has not been an issue with the bags over extending while on the hoist. Mostly they do not like to be uninflated completely, as they wrinkle some and chafe on its self. If a guy was worried about damage it would just take a second to undo the plastic nut at the top of the bag that holds it in the upper bracket.
