I am running Firestone 2500's up front I recently bodydropped it and am not totally comfortable with the lift I am getting. It untucks but Id like to get a little more out of it. Are there any other bags that give more lift than the Firestones? And How Much More?

I also had thought of running a spacer between the bag and the bag mount. That would probably give me some more as well.

Are the Re200's the equivelent to the Firestones 2500's?

Also Does anyone know if they are available in 3/8 on the Suicide doors page I only see them for 1/2"

I dont think slams come in 3/8..just put a reducer in them. And yah the Slam Specialties RE 200 PSI Single Port-5" is what u need.

I thought RE6 was the 2500 replacement?Max diameter of a firestone 2500 is 6.4".Max diameter of an RE6 is 6"RE6 has 3" More Stroke

Cheapest fix is to make sure your bag is FULLY compressed when layed out. If its not, you are just loosing lift. You could redo your mounts, or add a spacer if this is the case.

Simplest fix is Slam Bags.

Also remember, you can only go as high as the rest of your suspension will allow. You shocks could limit your lift, as well as the upper control arm hitting the frame (or bag mount depending on truck)

S-L-A-M-S get the RE-6 and a 3/8" reducer. Trust me they will be the best bags you ever ran..............
