I have 2500 aim bags whatever they are called I got them unfortunetly when I first got my truck bagged but yeah I am only getting 6 inches of lift at 150 psi so I am always tucking tires up front. I still have stock tires fot the time being but like there is no play when driving so when I hit a bump at certain speeds like a larger bump I bounce (I swear sometimes I come off the ground since I have hardly any play in the bag) so I want a bag with a little more play and a little more lift.
I am now running slam RE 7's in the back and I was currently running the aim 2500s up front, I dont think the slam bags colapse as much as the aim ones did and I know they have an internal bumpstop and I have bolt on aim front top brackets so I have to figure all this out before I buy two more bags, plus i think when I turned at really low psi I was runbbing I hope this problem gets solved with the camber adjusters. so any bag suggestions? sorry guys i havent been online in a looong ass time

You havent read all the horror stories with AIM and suspension?
It goes AIM + Suspension = disaster. Gowith the slam bags all around. I am running all slams and no shocks up front and everything is fine. YOu may want to swap out all of the AIM stuff for more reliable bag parts. Is there a reason why you made over 12 different posts for the same thing?????? JIMMY

Slams compress to 2.9" or something. About the same as any other bag. You just cant compress them by hand like other brands. It takes over 100 lbs to compress and RE6 as far as I remember.

Slam bags = good stuff However you may have to redo your mounts b/c they don't compress as far, but well worth it.

why is everyone saying slams don't compress as far...? all this info is from their website:
Minimum Heights for 2500/re6 size bags
Firestone: 2.8"
Contitech: 3"
Airlift 2b6: 2.8"
Slams: 2.8"
2600lb/re7 size
Firstone:2.8"
Contitech:3.1"
Airlift 2b7: 2.9"
Slam Specialties:2.8"
Its the lbs to compress that is the difference (
I can't find airlift specs.)
2500s/re6
Firestone: 50lbs
Contitech: 45 lbs
Slams: 150 lbs
2600s/re7
Firestone: 14 lbs
Contis: 45 lbs
Slams: 400 lbs (yes 400)

I know what it says and all, but I am telling you I have bagged several rangers, and I did conti's on one and did the 2nd one with slams and had to build the cups different heghts. Only diference in the 2 trucks was the bags, so that is where I am speaking from.

yeah I have stepped on them and iuts about an inch difference but hell it takes about 60 psi just to get any lift off of the ground with these bags and I absolutely love the mounts so I dont want to have to replace them since the york fine I jus twant to make sure I dont rub with the RE 6 I think I'll be fine I love these bags but the aim ones are just cheap **** and theyre going on my tilt bed/dump bed
sorry for all the posts it wouldnt go to the page where it showed it was posted for liek an hour s oI just clicked offline, I had no idea thanks though guys
