Just wondering

Can you? Yes....
Should you? No....
With a small bag like that. You are going to need a lot of pressure to lift a large vehicle like you have. You should go with a 2600 or 7" bag in the front.

thanks Jason, that's what I was thinking. I just needed someone to slap me upside the head with it.

really depends on the bracket/ leverage and engine... we did my buds on a slam SS6 and it works just fine which has a 350 with a blower... while at air ride our duramax duallies where sporting firestone 255c bellow or generic term 2500 it all depends man... stock arms with standard brackets id go with a slam ss7, firestone 6873

ive got dominator 2500's in the front of mine

but, the only reason im running them is because my cupped lower a arms were a tight fit with the 2600's. it does take some good pressure to get it up there...

just curious, what would be the reason running 2500's instead of 2600's?

No reason in particular, there is a set here locally for sale.

mostly comes down to adequate pressure/ spring rate ratio.... to big of a bag you will achieve your preffered ride height befor the actual bag is at its operational ride hide which will not give you enough rate and to small you will over extend the bag which will give it to much.
