Firestone 9000 bags enough?
I just bought a set of 9000 bags for the rear of my 70 Jimmy. Will these be strong enough for a 4 link? How about as "helper" springs but using only 3 or even 2 leafs?

I'm assuming they would as they are used in most of the "Air bar" systems that Air-Ride Technologies sells. Also they'll hold up to 3000lbs together at 100psi. I think lostwages was planning on using F9000's on his 4-link setup. Hope this helps

they are a 1500 pound bag, they say they ride nicer than the double convoluted bags, plus they give an extra amount of lift, i will get almost 12 inches of lift on mine. the only negatives are they dont have a built in bumpstop so you need to set it up to where the truck bottoms out before the bag full compresses and set up your shocks to whre they limit how far they can lift, they are really tall bags which make tham a little harder to set up but they should be fine.
