I've been out of bagged vehicles for a couple year. Been doing the static thing for awhile. Last time I was buying bags it was re7's. I've been reading around and it looks like they slam makes different bags now. Also seen a lot of people running dominators.

So what are you guys running and how do you line them?
 
Seem like d2600 are the bags everyone goes with now. It's what I'm putting on my cc
 
The truck I bought looks to have the old re7s. I see they are making a ss now. The ones on the truck are showing some dry cracks so I figured I would start looking for a replacement.

my original bags were the HE-7s i have the SS-7s now. Allegedly there was a bunch of issues with the SS series bags leaking or something. Since my shit is garage queen now i cant really comment on them. As to why I have the SS knowing about said issue i tried to order the XS-7s and the guy who did the order for me was told "those wont be in stock for a while but we got these other ones [referring to the SS] which are even better"
 
RE-7 are tried and true. Great lift and stability. The ss-7 as stated above had some leaking issues. There a lighter bag as advertised.

PErsonally I would run re7

I have Firestone 2600s on the rear, and Air Lift Dominator D2600 bags in the front.
The fronts leak a little. Not sure yet if it's the bag or the fittings. It will layout in the front in about 3 days if I leave pressure in them.

I have ran Firestone 224c (2600), Slam Re-7's, Slam SS-7's, Dominator 2600's, Dominator 2500's and Firestone F9000's in my years of Driving Bagged Vehicles.

This is my review
Firestone 224c are good bags and its nice that they have stud mounts on top. they lack the lift of other 2600lb bags

Slam RE-7's are nice bags but they are very bouncy. they require over 3.5x the force to collapse completely than Dominator 2600 bags. its nice that they are non ballooning.

Slam SS-7's are good designs, but they sucked from day one. leaked terribly and were way too soft. they require only 50 psi to collapse. which is 6x less than the RE-7. They made the sidewall thicker and reduced weight which leads me to believe the wire mesh inside is thinner or the same thickness because I doubt the composite plate are so much lighter than the aluminum plates. I don't know that for sure, I just know they sucked.

Dominator 2600's are my bag of choice for the front of Fullsize trucks and Bag on Bar rear setups. gives a nice smooth "wavy" ride before shocks, which is much easier to dampen. the lift is there and you don't have to worry about overloading the bag seeing as its rated for a max pressure of 600psi.

Dominator 2500's are my bag of choice for rear cantilever setups and minitrucks. act just as the Dominator 2600 but for lighter load applications.

Firestone F9000's are my bag of choice for the rear of fullsize trucks when the bag is directly on the axle. As long as towing and lift are not needed to be huge. I run these on my personal truck and they are awesome. Best ride I've ever had in the rear. also the bag of choice for RideTech rear Airbar Kit.

Those are my reviews for what I have personally ran.

Thanks, always like to see your input on anything suspension related. I'm leaning to try the dominator 2600's on mine.
 
I am running the Slam RE-7's on all four corners on my Sierra, as stated above they are a little bouncy but the overall ride quality is good. No problem with them leaking after sitting for a while, I have left the truck aired for about a week one time and they did not air down. I have not ever ran any other bag so I do not have much to compare them to for whats its worth.
