Re: bigblock with air bags
I would run a Slam Specialties RE-7
A BBC isnt that much heavier than a SBC, so there shouldnt be any problem, you'll just run a lil more pressure than a truck with a SBC |

I run the RE7's all around in my BBC Burb/Tahoe. Ride height runs about 70 psi up front.

Re: bigblock with air bags
Being as Airlift & Slam specialties weren't even an option way back in the day when I did my BBC dually crew it's running 224c (aka 2600lb) Firestones. Haven't had a single issue with them and more miles and years than most. Now that's what was available then whose to say what I would put in today. Oh yeah, 'stones going in my square bbc dually crew too but mostly cause I still have a few sets sitting on the shelf. If I had to buy it would be a toss up between the 'stones and the SS bags what ever I could ge tthe best buy on i guess.
