Which of these bags to use for my air over leaf?
Just got my AOL kit from ridetech and they sent me double convoluted bags (f6957) and I thought I was getting a tapered sleeve. I have a pair of ride rite 9000 which dont have quite as much load rating but according to the specs I should get a lot more lift if I use the tapered bag.
The convoluted bag lists 3" compressed 4.5-5.5" ride height, max 7" sleeve 4.5" compressed ride 8-9.5" max 13" I dont use the truck to tow anything so I'm not real worried about the load rating. Am I missing something or am I ok to use the firestone 9000

They supply the smaller dbl convoluted bag on the HD applications for towing.
The C10's use the sleeve type bag so they would work too. I used the same small dbl convoluted bag on my 74 when I did my 'driveway' AOL set-up on my old 74. I did that bag specifically because of the spacial requirements (I placed the bag directly on top of the original leaf spring pad). W/no load, I kept minimal air psi in them & then just air'd them up once I connected the trailer. Worked great & you wouldn't know they were back there when unloaded.
