Air bags with a big block?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What rating of bag should I be running up front with a big block in my Suburban?

I don't think you need to worry so much about the rating, but the bag you decide to run. Slams will lift way before the "others" and not need 110 - 120 before it gets up. I always hear complaints about needing a lot of pressure before they lift, so run Slams!! 7's should be fine, but at that point it's your preference, clearance issues and how it will ride.

Others will chime in and give their opinion, it's a common question / discussion.

Mine=Burb+BBC+RE7's No issues. Lifts at around 40psi, Ride at 70.

Look at his build thread, it will be worth the hour it will take!

If you have questions about yours, his will answer most that you have.

Slams are built specifically for air ride suspension, where others are not! That's why they work so well.
