Air shocks should only be used to level a car. You never want to change the angles, especially if you’re racing unless you have addressed all other geometry on the car. Air shocks do not control weight transfer. Lifting the rear of the car will change the pinion angle same as lowering the car, which can have adverse effects on traction. High speed stability can be affected (if lifting the car and also you are putting additional stress the U-joints.
There are mini-tub kits, (or a BFH) to get you additional clearance. Or just get rims with the proper offset.

The problem is air shocks don't control rebound, so after the car squats they rebound quickly which will unload the rear tires.
