Bag pros please! I got ????

After a long break from the truck I've started working on it again. Test fitting some sheetmetal I've decided to bag it. What bags are everyone using on the 67-72's? I'm looking for bags and using stock control arms and trailing arms. Also what size air lines? If you know of a good install thread please post it. Thanks

Re: Bag pros please! I got ????

I'm static in front and bagged in back... Firestone 2600s, single pump, small tank and 1/4" line. I don't plan on doing a lot of adjustments on the fly, just want the capability to adjust to suit the trip/ride.

If you want a lot of response in the system you'll want more capacity to supply air than I have.

Re: Bag pros please! I got ????

I did some searches and it seems the 2600 in the front and the 2500 in the rear is a pretty common setup. I was looking at the airlift dominator bags at ***************** the D2500 and D2600. Any opinions on these bags? Seems like a good price on them at $55 and $60 each.

Don't let the low price fool you, those are great bags . If you do have a problem with them Airlift has great customer service and will take care of you.

Re: Bag pros please! I got ????

im running dominators 2600 with the necessary brackets to run stock control arms and the only thing I had to do was notch the lower cup in the front suspension so the cup would sit flush in the lca. its a good set up, be prepared to spend some coin on everthing else though, Especially quality fittings!!!

Re: Bag pros please! I got ????

Thanks for all the input. Bags are a learning experience for me I've never touched a pair. I ordered air lift dominators from suicide doors today. So I'll be pulling out the coils next. I'll need alot of advice when it come to plumbing them.
