firestone air bag

hey what is the best firestone bag for a 67 C10?
1/2T going to put 4 bags on the truck to fix the sagging spring problem in the back. One side sits lower then the other.

Then I'll get the spindles for the front. The tires wear a little on the ends now from the cut coils.

The 2600 bag the one?


Cheers

Re: firestone air bag

I have heard several of the suspension gurus around here suggest avoiding Firestone and getting Slam Specialties RE 200 bags:

$75/ea.

Re: firestone air bag

They look good and great price.
I can't see to buy a mile on my truck so far so they should do just fine.
