have a 77 half 2 wheel drv. want to install bags up front. have the upper and lower brackets but need bags. i hear slam specialties have the best bags. is this true? i want the front end to come off the ground a few inches. does anyone know the diameter of bag i need? also should i get duel port bags? the lower cup bracket does it sit open end down? and is there a problem with it just sitting in the spring pocket? thanks..

Might be best to ask this one in the Suspension forum -- Lots of guys there with tons of air suspension experience

The convolved bags that Slam Specialties offer are gaining popularity. Traditionally, Firestones were the bags of choice. Still is for many applications. But, many like the fact that the Slam Specialties bags do not 'ballon' like the other bags and are more responsive which lead to a firmer ride. Their 7-series bag would be a good choice up front. BTW, it's not uncommon to install the bags where the cup floats inside the LCA spring pocket. Dual ports aren't neccessary unless you want super fast fill/dump capability. You may even find that a single port plumb with 1/2" line is way too fast to control. Running 3/8" lines is more controllable.
