Hey, I've got a '01 F150 w/ 2500's in front and 2600's in back. Any reason I shouldn't run 2500's in back? it'll never haul anything heavy and seems to get quite a few more up and downs up front than in back before kicking the compressor on... so it seems logical to swap to 2500's, but I need some feedback!

in my opinion id put the larger bags in the front.

i am with cris, 2600 up front, because it takes less pressure to get to ride height and you will get a better ride. Shit on S10's i would still run 2600 on all 4 corners.

I actually want to move to slams RE-6 if that makes any difference.

i would put an re 72 up front, and if the bags are on the bars an re 62 out back.

I'm really happy with the ride quality as it sits, just would really like it if I could lift front and back without kicking on the compressor the minute I do it... seems like i can lift the front 3 times without kicking it on, so I'm hoping this will do the trick.

it's bag over axle. not a lot of room right now to change that.

IT SHOULD ACTUALLY LAST LONGER IF YOU PUT 2600S UP FRONT. I GOT 2500'S ON THE FRONT OF MINE RIGHT NOW AND I GOTTA RUN 140PSI JUST TO CLEAR THE WHEELS. WITH 2600' IT TAKES LIKE 80PSI. LESS PSI IN THE BAGS MEANS YOU'LL HAVE MORE PSI IN THE TANK LONGER. IF YOU CHANGE TO 2500S IN THE BACK THE COMPRESSOR WILL KICK ON EVEN MORE. DON'T DO IT. PUT 2600S ALL THE WAY AROUNG.

^^^ i'm not sure I understand how it would last longer, the larger volume in the bigger bags is what drains the psi fastest as far as I can tell.

IM RUNNING THE SAME BAGS YOU ARE ON MY F150. I CAN HOP THE BACK UP AND DOWN ABOUT 6 TIMES BEFORE THE COMPS KICK IN I CAN ONLY DO THE FRONT ABOUT THREE. IT SOUNDS WIERD BUT YOU ACTUALLY USE MORE AIR IN THE SMALL BAGS. THE TAKE MORE POUND PER SQAURE INCH. THE PSI IS SO MUCH GREATER THAT IT IT ACTUALLY USES MORE AIR.
