55.2-59 air ride question

[slammed57]

anyone running slam bags ss6 in the front? was curious on the ride quality

ss6 is an re6 with composite end plates instead of aluminum. I have used a lot of slam bags in the couple decades I have had air ride and they ride better than just about anything, and have an internal bumpstop so you can squish them all the way without damage. the only thing I would recommend is to go bigger than you think you need in front and smaller than you think you need in the rear. so I usually use an re7 in front with an re5 in the rear. the extra volume of the 7 in the front is nice for a smooth ride at lower pressure with all the weight of the engine, and the smaller bag in the rear is great for the vastly lower weight.

Thanks for the response, I was just curious be cause with the front end I went with they gave me as 6 for it. The truck is not done yet so I was wondering how it would ride just because it has a big block in it , I pushed the motor back 4” so it may help a little. Right now at ride height each bag is at 68psi and the bags are at 6.5” tall. I don’t think 7” bags will fit because when the wheels are turned all the way the big gm brake calipers will hit the 7” bags... also wondering if I went with some wilwood calipers if I can obtain more clearance to squeeze in some 7” bags

68 psi at ride height is pretty great actually. I would stick unless you just want the extra volume and softer spring rate.

Ok thanks bud for thanks your help, I’ll probably stick with the 6’s then just because my scub line is at 4” so a little firmer ride will keep me from scrubbing
