2WD Bags on rear

I'm gonna do 3" spindles up front and bags with schraders in the rear to get 5" drop.

What size/brand bags is everyone using on their Blazer/Jimmy's?

Completely new to bags. Any input helps.

ECE Has a great kit that is perfect for your application. That's what I used on mine. Fits perfect, and works perfect.

Re: 2WD Bags on rear

At $750, it seems expensive. If you itemize it, they are charging over $400 for two bags with line and fittings. Doesn't that seem expensive? I definitely think it has exactly all the components I need though.

These are Firestone bags. Not cheap, but will last and take hard use.

Save up if you need to. It will be worth it on that great Blazer you just got. Don't go cheap on that one.

Just got a quote from Dave at Porterbuilt and they're a little cheaper.

Mr.Vogel, thanks again for the talk. You definitely convinced me of the bags for the rear. I may have to call you again here in a few weeks when I get ready to put this stuff together.

Re: 2WD Bags on rear

Curious how the bags with shrader valves worked out. Mine had bags all four corners. I took out the front ones but kept the rest of the system, compressors, tank, etc. I was thinkin of getting rid of all that and using shraders for the remaining rear bags. Any input appreciated.
