They don't lift quite as high as the Dominators but don't rub in the cups.
Matty, I am surprised to learn there is so much difference dimensionally (and thus performance) between bags that are labeled as '2600'. This is exactly the response I was looking for but not what I want to hear as I already ordered the Doms. My cups are 8-1/4" ID. I guess I'll bolt 'em in and see how they do. You must know my truck from NWC10's or something!?

Sorry to be the bearer of that news. Yes I know you from NW C10's I have "Willy" the 68 baby blue LWB GMC with the Topper and "Betty" the 71 Aqua SWB.

Airlift dominators is what I needed. Ride height at 80 psi. I think they do touch the edge of the cup but wouldn't if my top plate were better centered. Pic of Airmaxxx vs Dominator.
