Re: choice of bags
There are a lot of different bag choices out there. On here, you will see a lot of guys either use Slams or AirLifts. I usually will use the AirLifts, since they are priced well and a good product. The Slams won't "balloon" under inflation, but I don't necessarily think the AirLifts do that much. In our trucks, it isn't too much of a concern.... but all depends on how your suspension is setup, but usually have plenty of room.
Some have more lift than others, but again, for most applications, the AirLift does well. |

Re: choice of bags
Cool a guy offered me a set of re6s for 60 bucks. I just bought fiddlers off him so hes offering those. Would I benefit from them? I know ill be asking dumb questions but just tryingto get my feet on the ground with the air suspension world

Re: choice of bags
RE6's are small for your truck as they would run stiff very stiff.
I like slams because they off 3 different versions of bags, and I helped tune a air bag truck with them. |

Re: choice of bags
If they are used bags i would pass on them.On bags you want to run the biggest ones you can so you have a smoother ride.A bigger bag will take less psi to lift the same weight and height then a smaller bag.And with a air bag the higher the psi the stiffer the spring rate becomes so stiffer ride.

Re: choice of bags
I've been using Firestone 2600 bags at all four corners with no problems. Carried engines, C10 beds and motorcycles with no problems. Truck is a stepside with 6.0 LS and 6 speed manual. Iron block (lQ4)
