Air Bag Help
I am runing single convulted bags on the front of my truck. their max height is 9'' so too short for a replacement of a regular coil. so i am shimming them with 1.5'' blocks of alu. the height is perfect but in order to keep the shimms from moving i welded in a plate on the bottom c-arm with a hole in the center (shims also have a hole in the center) and ran a bolt throught the plate, shims and into the bottom airbag mounting hole now my bag has a fold in the middle will this be a problem or should i go with double convaulted bags.
 any info would be greatp.s. how do u get pic's into here it does not work for me and i have a bunch. thankx |

Single convulated bags.....meaning sleeve bags are not for mounting in control arms. You should switch to a double convulated bag.

Single convulated bags dosent really mean sleaves. they do really make Single convulated bags. its just a regular 1 bellow bag. posable to get at heavy trucks shops evrywear. but I would still sugest gitting your self a set of 2600# for the front. as thier pretty mutch made for and proven to work on a control arm setup.

If we could get a pic up that would be great, but i personally would go with a double bellow, 2600 or equal to it.
