Ditto on the band-aides. Put the proper offset rims on.
Airs hocks were never meant for permanent use or jacking up a vehicle.
When they were originally designed, they were intended to level the cars/trucks ride height under load, not jack the rear end up in the air.
"Old School Air
This story wouldn't be complete without mentioning load-carrying air shocks such as the Gabriel or Monroe air shock absorbers. These are designed as a supplemental overload spring, and work by adding air to an enclosed chamber much like the airbag overload springs. The benefit to this style air shock is it allows the use of a softer riding spring pack for your truck for road use, but then the shock can be aired up for your next trip to get a thousand pounds of gravel. One concern is how strong the stock shock mounts are for that added load as they are now being given stresses comparable to the spring mounts."
