Sleeve Bags or Convoluted Bags for rear
I am deciding on what I want to do for suspension on my 70 C10. I am planning on a 4" static drop up front with spindles and springs and I want to do bags with schraders out back so I can get around a 6" drop but still be able to haul a load. I have been researching on rear setups and I like the porterbuilt stage 1 rear kit. I have looked at some threads about sleeve bags vs convoluted bags and ride quality. My instinct says that the porterbuilt kit is well put together and they use a convoluted bag for a reason. I did read that sleeve bags sometimes give smoother ride quality. I may eventually bag the front of the truck and add some air management. So what would be better for my setup, sleeve bags or convoluted bags?

If you lever them on the trailing arm where the factory spring was, the double convoluted will do the job. If you are wanting to mount them off the front or rear edge of the axle, then the sleeved bags would be what I recommend. The sleeved bags work best right at a 1:1 ratio while the double convoluted work best when they are levered. Nate
