Used bag question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Logans 66 · 06-26-2015, 09:01 PM

Is there anyone out there that sells or specializes in used bags and or kits? Or anyone that just sells bags? Like starter kits? Logan really wants bags but he just doesn't have a grand to spend. Whats the best company to contact?
Thanks, Logans dad, Paul....

Schrader valves. Firestone 2600 bags front and rear if you make your own cups. My rear kit came with 2500s.
Kit came with cups that make bag two bolt to center nut to use all thread to attach to factory nut. Spins on.

could these be used in the front suspension also instead of the coil spring, I have a 79 chev k member and complete suspension and steering?

Sure - what are they gonna do, cut your hair and send you to sea? People use them all the time.

LVPhotos · 06-27-2015, 08:17 PM

Definitely 2600 in front! Firestone not China crap. Step up for safety and longevity! Sick and tired of cheapest drop. If it is not DOT approved there is a reason! Millions of commercial trucks run Firestone out the factory! Stop at the cheapest crap you can buy!

I agree about firestone bags! Install them right and they seem to last forever. I have had success with slam specialties bags too. The slam bags have internal bumps tops which is good sometimes...

Logans 66 · 06-28-2015, 11:39 PM

Yes I completely agree on the safety and longevity, not trying to be cheap either. Logan has a small budget so we need to be smart on any purchase.

I think that's what the guys above are trying to tell you.

**N2TRUX** · 06-29-2015, 04:28 PM

I would NEVER buy used air suspension unless you are confident in the source you buy from. I strongly recommend that you go with as mush static drop as possible to start with, then add air as the budget allows.
