Which air bags with rear lift

I keep tearing my no name air bags on the rear of my Excursion.

I have x springs up front and a fabtech add a leaf in the rear (about 2.5" lift) . What air bags would work best? Which ones would not require bracket mods?

I have 3" and just put the firetones on. The were within the range they specified, 4.5 - 6.5 inches, mine were 6 inches. I don't have the ears so I will be keeping an eye on them.
