Air Bags and a BBC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is anyone runing a BBC and airbags on the front? I'm working on a 70 C-10 2.5 in dropped spindles and Dominator 2600 bags. It has a small block now, but seriously thinking a 348/409 or a 454. Will these bags hold it up? Thanks Greg

I'm running a 92 CC 1ton dually with 454 and 89 GMC CC 1ton dually w454 plus built a 69 stepper w/ 454 all running bags. the 92 has been bagged almost 10 years still on original bags and I used to use it to tow alot. They need a bit of air to pop up from flat but ride way better than 1 ton coils by far.

I have a 461 with 2600 firestone bags and it goes up and down well, but I think the real test is when its all complete and on the road.
