Has anyone ever thought of using something like this with a custom mount in place of the front coils? 1500lb Tapered Sleeve Air Spring - 3/8" Port Air Bag

 

Don't think sleeve bags Wud work they roll over eachother an will eventually rub a hole. A regular convoluted style will be better an I think all u need is bag cups for the front

 

Yah sleeve bags are scary, had some on my 63 nova and they blew about 4 months after installing, the little metal rings most of them come with are junk too. As yota4life said they roll over each other and rub on anything in the way the construction of them arent that great.

Id use regular bag would be best and yah all you need is a cup or plate.

 

Thanks guys, I am going to talk to the shop I will be ordering my parts through this week, but I think I will actually end up cutting the coil buckets out and welding in new plates so I have enough room to sit on the ground and not squash the bags. Probably go with bags like these.
2500lb Slam'R Air Bag - 1/2" Port with Built in Bump Stop

 

you should look into these bags they collapse smaller pretty much 2 inches which is lower than any other bag i love these bags its like a 2600 in the size of a 2500

I was looking at the slam R because the integrated bump stops.

 

The "slamr" bags are just a knock off of slam specialties an if ur gonna pay 100$ a bag I wudnt go with a knock off. Also if you put the bag plate to high you wont get any lift unless you have a high psi which will ride like crap. The bags are made to be "squashed"

 

I am not set on the slamr's I am going to talk to my shop and see what they use.

 

Just giving u a heads up. Slam'r is a knock off. Slam specialties are the best bags IMO. I have contitech on my runner an they're spongey an I've had Firestone they were spongey aswell. The trucks I've had with those bags with rode nice but really bouncy. My ex cab with slams rides really nice even without shocks
