Re: How much do ss slam bags ballon out?
I'm guessing you've got Air Lift bags right now. I had to cut 3/4 inch off each end of my stock sway bar to keep the bags from touching and it still comes redonkulously close to the sway bar mount. Not to mention how much I had to hack the bump stop and steering stop on my lower A arms. It's crossed my mind to just switch to the SS bags.

Re: How much do ss slam bags ballon out?
The Slam SS7 will not balloon. This is its main selling point. Air Lift Dominators will balloon slightly as do Firestones. The Dominator is a quality bag, and with the recent price increase on the Slams, the Dominator is the best value. The trimming of the sway bar and bumpstop bracket is common with both bags.

Re: How much do ss slam bags ballon out?
Not exactly sure.... They now sell at $105 a pop!!!!!!!! We used to sell them for $75 a piece.
They are definitely a nice bag and in certain applications are worth the added expense. Just doesn't make sense on our C10's when you can get two Dominators for $25 more than the price of one Slam. Nate

With the price hike will you guys keep the SS bags or will you go to the Dominator bag in your kits?

Re: How much do ss slam bags ballon out?
The Slam is an option (for an additional charge).... but the stage 1 and stage 2 kits are priced with and come standard with the Dominators. Make sense?
