I have RE-6s up front and my shock tops out before the bag reaches max height. The cool thing about the RE-6 is that it's smaller in diameter (obviously), and I didn't have to use cups. I just made a flat circular plate that sits in the lower coil pocket, no clearance issues what so ever.
RE-6
Diameter: 6"
Min height: 3"
Max height: 10"
Max PSI: 180

RE-7
Diameter: 7"
Min height: 3"
Max height: 11"
Max PSI: 180

RE-8
Diameter: 7.75"
Min height: 3"
Max height: 11"
Max PSI: 180

RE-6 Replaces a firestone 255c or contitech 2500# bag. (Front)
RE-7 Replaces a firestone 224c or contitech 2600# bag. (Rear)
RE-8 Replaces a firestone 2800# bag. (Rear duallys)


Yeah, only 100 lbs & one inch smaller tall & wide

No, I just need to know what I'm gonna order
I just thought that if I could do like thekid54 And not use cups & just make a flat circular plate that sits in the lower coil pocket, that It'd solve part of the "nose bleed" problem (front sitting higher than rear)

Thanks Joe67, you
