bags for towing?

What bags do you guys that tow still with your truck use? I'm of course talking about bagged trucks not ones using helpers. I know the best location is a bag over axel setup with a bridge.. or so I've been told... but what kind of bags hold up to the weight?

there are several options. conitech makes a triple stack bag. those are very commonly used. slam re 8s are used. or slam he 8s the slam he 8s are dual port. some guys live by firestone sleeve bags. then you have people that run bags they yank out of dumptrucks and semis and make them work. bag placement is key. you heard correct., over axel is certainly the best by the book towing setup.

depending on what your towing, bag over the axle is the heighest load rating. and at the same time the smallest amount of lift (depending on bag size) and the harshest ride (again depending on bag size)

my dually is big, (its a dually right>) i put big 1 3/4 4 link bars, big 5/8 bolts just purposely making everything big. so with that i used cement truck triple pusher bags. i get about 18 inches of lift. full hieght at 45psi, and about 8 inches of lift at 20psi.

and the rear is soft also, but this is a direct result to having a huge bag.


you cna put the bags on the four link bars, which is awesome, but you have to think your entire truck and toungue weight of the trailer is no located/pinpointed to your 4-link bar, so it must be strong..

oh, and we tow a 3 car hauler gooseneck..

I don't mind a harsh ride and I definately don't mind a low ride height.. I'm lookin to mainly pull a 3 horse trailer and a one car flatbed that either has a car on it or loaded with hay lol.. I'm also lookin to do a basic type of setup.. not going for show but a fun daily driver that can still work when I need it to

haha good for you, I figured I was the only one gonna bag a truck and pull a livestock trailer with it. By the way I'm in the same perdicament, I am in the process of bagging it now, still need to decide which rear bags to use.

Lol right on bro!.. The wife has four horses that we will need to haul sometimes and the car trailer/hauler is mine, well my family's I should say lol. Does anyone use bumper pull still on a bagged truck? Or does everyone use a goose neck?

I have a body dropped 2000 with a four link and triple stack bags and rides great even better towing my 10000lb travel trailer

i know alot of people that still bumper pull. when i get my dually and build it, im setting it up to bumper pull and gooseneck. i want to get a 34ft open trailer.

but back to reality, haha id love to have a 34 ft bumper pull and a 34ft gooseneck, but doubt that will happen. and a 24 ft . i gotta play the lotto damnit lol
