Re: What front bags on my c10 witht 454bb??

Definately run the 2600 series, or 7" diameter airbags for sure. The larger bags will offer a higher lifting capacity due to their volume, plus they will lift more at a lower pressure. It's always best to run the larger bags in the front of fullsize truck whether it's a SBC or BBC. You can also consider running a Slam Specialties 8" bag as well for increase volume and lift. The only thing to watch out with those up front will be clearance on the control arm and sway bar.

If you're interested in pricing on the bags please feel free to contact us for a quote with shipping

The Slam Specialties bags have a integrated bump stop, which is a nice feature.

Slam bags are the way to go like already said earlier they have a internal bump stop.They by far are the best bag for the front and you can buy from many vendors out there and on this forum.Here is one more option for you here at Scotts we have several dozens of bags in stock and we can ship out very fast.We have great prices on top of that
