Im running Airlift 2500's up front just make sure when u make/buy your brackets your suspension can go threw the hole range of travel without rubbing before u weld them in for good!

2500s will do just fine bro

2600s are nice, just have to go the extra step to get them to not rub in our trucks

some advantages you'd get by shoving a 2600 type bag in the front would be less pressure needed to lift your truck, because the 2600 bag has more surface area, so not as much pounds per square inches (psi) is needed to lift the truck compared to a 2500...only draw back you get is that it takes a tad more air out of your tank, because as it is taking less pressure to lift the truck you are using more volume

on bag type, its more of preference....i run firestones, they are very reliable bags..last a long time as well. downside with them is that their outer diameter expands as you fill them, so it needs a tad more room around it so it doesnt rub anything. Slam specialty bags are really nice. they have heavy duty rubber and do not expand as you fill them. so pretty much whatever room you have around the bag when it is layed out is the room you'll have around the bag at full lift. Slams are ideal for very tight clearances. 2500 type bag in slams is the RS62, 2600 type is RS72...slam also carries a smaller bag which also works well which is the RS52...small bag, but will hold a 4cyl mazda no probs

Thanks mullet - all I could envision was the bags under the cab attatched to the torsion bar adjusters. seen it a couple of times back in the 90's.

Did i say it was the only right way to do it? let me ask you something player, how many bagged trucks and/or suspension setups have you had? im sure that you know bags over bars requires less pressure to lift which = better ride quality, also bags over bars is more lift......ever had em over axle with 1/2" everything (true 3/8) ?? that shit pops up fast as fuck, hard to control and rides like ass, but on a fullsize that will be towing things thats the only way to do it. So in the future how about lets stick to the topic, i gave the guy some advice he can take it or leave it, up to him, but i dont need you using your umpteenmillionth post to jump on my ass.....cool?

yeah i'm curious the preferred way to install bags on the rear too... i love my bags on the lower link bars, it rides WAY better than over the axle. i'd never do it again like that. it's all about the bags on the bars for leverage or some sort of canti setup. that's my opinion tho.

Exactly.. but to say that its THE prefered method.. thats not correct.. because its your prefered method dosen't make it everyone elses.. bags on bars work fine, true cantis work fine, bag over axel work fine. Depends what you want and what your planning to do with it that makes a difference. I'm not arguing.. i'm agreeing.. but for people who are trying to learn, saying that its THE prefered method.. isn't 100% correct. and the truck in the sig looks awesome
