Airlift Dominators vs. Slams?

Originally posted by chevyridinlow



that was a good review on built2railmagazine.com. But i still would like to see a direct comparison of the same truck with both bags to see which give more lift. Which dominator did they used for the review though, the 2500 or the 2600? and which slam would you use to compare against the 2600 dominator?

The bag used in the review was the 2500. I would say the 2600 is comparable to the RE8

Isn't the RE7 closest to the 2600?
The RE8 is larger in diameter I believe

The airlifts are nice and get a little more lift/ They do ballon a small amount and ride softer than slams tho. Its a toss up for me on which ones are better ill use either for diff applications here at the shop.

Tony, check out this thread on s10 forum:



On page 5 and 6 there are some comparrison shots with dominators and other bags on the sme truck.

i had a bad balooning issue with the air lifts. i used the 2500 airlifts. i set the truck up with a 2500 firestone as usual and it worked fine. got done and went to swap in the dominator and it rubbed the spindle and the frame. swapped in a slam re6 and it was fine aswell. the air lift just balooned too much when space constraints are there. they seem quality made and im sure will work fine on s-10 and rangers and such but not on alot of small minis

i had the dominator 25s on the front of my dakota and the ride was better than factory and i didnt even have shocks on it and i had an insane amount of lift i could almost lay out the front and tuck tires but at 150 psi there was just over a foot of room between the fender and tire i loved them and they didnt take but 60 psi to be at ride height

what is the measurement on depressed (0psi) 2500 and 2600 dom's. i am finding mixed measurements on the web.
