Air Bags

[kino_fab]

I saw alot of trucks using air bags instead of blocks at the TS event last night, they seem to be pretty effective. I thought they would still allow the back of th truck to squat some, but they seemed not to. What brand do most of you guys use and where can I get a set? Thanks

Around here its 1" of travel or no stops at all. I think stops would limit breakage. I would think bags would work good as well.

Mine came from Discount Power Parts. Just get a name brand. I've not heard anything bad about any one brand. There are some tricks for pulling only applications.

i just got some havent put them on yet but hopeing they will work what psi do some people run in them?

Bags work however they give no matter how much psi you run in them.

They can be a band-aid for eliminating bounce verses regular blocks.

i bounced more with bags then blocks

Is anybody running a linked "bag only" setup for racing and street use? If so i would like to see pics?

my 03 dodge had air bags front and rear. lost all my pics though. for the front you need 10" air bags minimum to hold the weight.

so your saying it would be better to make blocks instead of air bags?

I have a friend that used them for a couple of years on his 03 dodge with no problems they was firestone's aired to 100psi, I treid them and the first time it let my rear diff to roll so now I have traction bars on and welded my diff to stop that from happening again.
