Thanks for everyone's help. I'm still a little confused at which bags to choose. I'm leaning towards re7s on the rear as that will cope with large trailers and heavy loads and it will be fitted at the axle (no leverage like if it was fitted to a trailing arm or bar) so hoping it won't be to soft. Up front I'm undecided but am going to pop a wheel off and have a measure to see how much metal removal would be required for either re6 or re7. Would a 7" hole be enough for re6 and a 8" hole for re7? Am I right in thinking the bags would perform best at half travel or stroke for normal ride height?
