What bags are yall running?

Recently bagged the front end of my truck. I went cheap with the bags and bought some knock off dominator 2600 bags from airbagit/chassis tech. First set leaked at the crimp where the plate meets the rubber. They sent me 2 more and they do the same. So I'm sick of fiddling with cheap bags now!

I was thinking about firestone 2500s or airlift dominator 2500s for the front. I don't want a whole lot of lift and want to stay with the smallest diameter possible. I can't afford slam specialties so that's out of picture so what is everybody else running?

Sweet, I'll check that out. Any problems with your firestones?

Firestones. Have used the 2500 and 2600 5 and 8 diameter. I found the bigger bags ride better. I would recomend cupping or plating your arms to use the bigger diameter bags. Once and done

Re: What bags are yall running?

I am using Dominators 2600s on all 4 corners of my truck and they ride great. 1 bag has a slow leak at the top but not bad enough to discourage me from buying them again.

Re: What bags are yall running?

Here in the NW we harvest and replant trees. Its like gardening long term. We enjoy wood homes and the use of toilet paper knowing we arent killing trees, just rehoming spotted owls
