Lift Kit

OK, I feel like an idiot asking this, but I bought a lifted 2006 SD from the dealer. I want to add airbags to the back to level things when hitching the toyhauler. The lift kit is a Fabtech, when I measure, it looks like a 5" lift, which doesn't exist at the Fabtech site, so my guess is it is really a 6" lift.
How do I make sure I get the right airbag parts? What is the proper way to measure the lift height? Thanks again guys!

To use a load assist air bag kit, you'll either need to make custom mounts or air lift has a spacer setup that you can buy to make their bags work with lifted trucks.

The kits' tell you the min and max height between the upper and lower brackets at ride height.
