Best Air Bags?

If you were to replace your 4 coils with 4 bags and shorter shocks, with what brand of air bags would you go with?
Cheers

I'm hoping to have mine by the end of the month. I'm getting 4 Air Lift Extreme Generation II bags. They handle higher pressures, have a greater load capacity, compress shorter, have a longer stroke, and are generally considered more durable that Firestone bags.

There may be other brands of bags that are better, but a good deal is a good deal ($65 ea), so I'm going with the Air Lift bags.

I figure why not?
It's only 4 bags, line and 4 shocks till I can afford the rich guys compressor and such!

What other kinds of bags are good!
$65 a bag is a good price!

If I could sell the bed I have for sale (72 long fleet) I would order my entire air setup tomorrow. But as it stands, I'm gonna have to wait for payday. Since I got my frame powdercoated, I want the bags on it NOW!

Hey 67Chevemall, dont forget a tank (or check valves). You gotta' keep the air in there until you get the "rich" guy setup. I am looking into the same kit as most have mentioned above. I am also inquiring into becoming a dealer for EasyStreetAir. Can't reach Corey on the phone yet. Might be worth it to get the wholesale pricing. If so, I will pass the savings on.

O yes the tank! I was leaning towards check valves at the end of the lines (by the fuel filler) But if the tanks are close to the same price I'd go with it!
LETS GET BAGGED!
