Tin man. I know this video is 5years old but. What are your thoughts on Airmaxx bags and equipment for a first build?? Love the videos. And I love going back to the archives!
Hey, the airmaxxx stuff is decent for the money. If you're on a budget and it's all you can afford, there is nothing wrong with their stuff. It's just not as quality as the more expensive stuff. I run lots of airmaxxx stuff on budget builds
Sprung my truck when I rebuilt all the suspension. Like to bag it at some point... laying frame looks so good ! We get tons of rain though and seeing as this is my daily I wonder if it might be more headache that its worth. The loss of the inner fenders alone makes me shudder thinking of all that water flying wherever it likes.
I like your channel and subscribed today. I installed some slam 6s today but in full droop it looks like the bag is coming apart at the top. Is there anyway I can send you a picture of the bag and you tell me if it is normal?
Great informative video, Question hope you can guide me in the right direction... Which bags would you suggest I get for a 1965 Impala Station wagon ? Thank you very much
Thanks for the video. One question, how do you pick stroke length? If I am trying to get near stock ride height would I just measure the original spring height? Or do I measure the suspension maxed out say on a lift with axles dropped? Looking to put air ride under my 78 F250 which has more of a high boy look. As far as weight capacity goes, does a higher capacity air bag ride worse/better? I dont plan to tow but may want to to pick up a car on a trailer. Thanks!
There are many great options for load support/towing. I would recommend you reach out to air lift. They are the company I use for load support bags on all of my trucks.
I was just doing some air bag maintenance on my toyota pickup today, i got ss RE6 in the front(not a lot of room in the front of mini trucks for bags and the slams dont balloon) and airlift 2600 in the rear, its bag on axle so the ride isnt the best but i might add lift bars one day or just redo the setup, I mean i have ridden in both and yes bag on bar is noticeably better but its still better than leaf springs i think.
EvanThaG oh yeah there is a ton more to discuss with bag stuff. This was just a quickie lol if setup proper a bag over axle can be very nice. The last truck I built, bag on axle, rode better than any other vehicle I've ever built. Bag on bar included. Not sure if I'm getting better at it or was just lucky lol the slam non ballooning is a nice feature, but really the airlift ones don't bag very much. For the price I'd always choose the airlift bags. But the slam ones have their place too!! All the others on the market.... Well.... You won't see me running them lol
I have heard success with vixen bags but i am going to keep running airlift and slams lol. Airbagit bags are garbage, my dad got 4 of the denominators you talked about for like 114$, they leak a decent amount and dont lift much, he also ordered fitting and got 2 correct fitting and the other 2 where 2 different sizes, we called and when they do answer you dont get much help, some things like bag brackets and my uncle has been buying their hidden hitches for years, but stay away from the bags and fittings... I only buy from horn blasters, AVS, or thorbros now.
My truck has been bagged almost 20 years now 4 years ago we ditched the old bag over axle and horrible aluminum 4 link we made from speedway and did bag on bar with a wishbone on top. The ride is a thousand times better it’s almost all we do anymore out of our play shop but I would love to try a cantilever setup sometime
My 97 Dodge Ram is lowered 3 in the front and 4 in back. I’d like to bag it in the spring. It’s currently sitting on 22s. Will I need different rims if I get bags for it?
Maybe this is weird, i'll let you decide, but I'm trying to find someone who has brackets that are taller than what is normally sold. I have a 64 Impala and all the bracket cups I see are about the same overall height, and I'm sure most people like to be able to slam their car on the ground. In my case, this is NOT what I want to do. When my bags are totally deflated and im riding on the bumpstop, I still want my car to be an inch off the ground at least. I know it looks cool to have your underbody and exhaust touching the ground, but beyond looking cool it serves me no purpose, and incase of an emergency in which my bags lose all pressure, I want to be able to still drive my car a short distance to safety. Does anyone know where I can get brackets like im talking about??
I have a 81 camaro and was going to put ACDelco 519-36 Specialty Front Spring Assisted Shock Absorber in the front, So my question is im looking to have the camaro have a switch for race mode option what is the best air ride do you thing i need in the back?
Great video first of all. I'm bagging a 64 cadillac and am using dominator 2600 bags, 3 out of 4 of them leaked and after getting warranted replacements one of those leak also. So I am thinking about trying the slam 7. Was curious about ride quality between the 2 and is the stroke comparable. Dont want to sacrifice ride height. Thanks
They are virtually identical in specs. Ive installed probably close to 100 airlift bags and never once had one leak. So I would actually recommend changing your fitting and/or line. You're spending unnecessary money and time replacing the bag
I’ve got a Mitsubishi diamanté 1993. It comes with factory air. Can I fit after market bags to make it lower? I have a set of Tein coilovers. Can I get bag to go over he coilovers to replace the springs? What do you recommend? Thanks.
Question, what fittings do you use for the dominator i bought 1/2 npt and they only go in half way and stick out to high as a matter of fact they even stick out on my tank, are they supposed to go flush?
No they do not go flush. It's a tapered thread, so the deepness depends on the taper off the fittings and the bags. Pipe tape and go until it's tight with a wrench.
Needs more air volume. But will give you a softer ride with less pressure. There really are no negative consequences of fitting an oversized bag. Sort of like asking if more cushion in a car accident is a bad thing lol always better to have more/bigger if you can.
Getting ready to bag my 67 C10 which has a 85 front end under it. Was thinking Firestone 2500 in the front and Firestone 2600 in the back just for clearance. Or do you think the 2600's will be okay in the front?
Good vid bro. But my question is which bag is good for a 64 impala. And if you wanted to get the vehicle to stand tall on all 4’s ( where you can see the rear axle and all) what would be a good bag.
Airlift or slam specialties. But I'll mention if you go 2 air compressors fir example on my Silverado I have an 8 gallon tank for my rears which are slam specialties, now fro the front I have a 12 gallon tank with the airlift 2600's with avs 1/2 inch valves and I can hop my front . And dual viair 480's to the 8 gallon tank and dual viair 485C's to the 12 gallon tank...
Hey bud I had a question. I'm currently replacing my old 7" Slam bags and was considering switching to the Dominator bags. Problem is my truck is in storage a few hundred miles away, so I do not have the ability to get to it to measure first hand. The slams being "non-balooning", will the Dominators fit without rubbing in an application that was meant for the slam bags, or do they balloon out a lot???
I've never seen an application where the dominators won't work in place of the slams. Could be possible thoreticsllt, but the ballooning is minimal with the dominators.
Great informative video! I have bags on my 2007 Chrysler 300C 5.7L V8! The rear bags which are similar to those in your video seem to roll over on themselves quite noticeably! They do the job, meaning they go up & down but they just don't look right! What would be making these bags do this??? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
@@Tinman2Kustoms maybe I didn't quite explain it properly! When pump up to max height the bags aren't straight, they lean over onto themselves! Kind of looks like when you stretch & bend an accordion! They should inflate straight up & down but mine look to leaning towards the centre of the vehicle when inflated!
@@aarondwyer8341 that's totally normal. Especially on independent suspension. Manufacturers recommend that they collapse straight. But they don't have to expand straight. Sometimes with geometry it's impossible to expand straight.
Thanks for reply! I suspected this was the case as the system was installed by a highly reputable shop! It just doesn't look right to me, but admittedly I'm no expert! My concern is, does/will this affect the durability & lifespan of the bag? As I said I'm no expert but would an offset plate at the lower mounting point eliminate this & do you know if there is such an item available? Again thank you for taking time to respond to my issue, fully appreciated!!!
@@aarondwyer8341 they are designed to take that side force. They're incredibly strong at the seam. Atleast the airlift & slam specialties bags are. They will last 10+ years without any issue. And if you offset the bags, they won't collapse straight. Which is actually harder on the airbag because when they're collapsed they will rub on the wrong parts of the bag and rub through. Always want them collapsed straight and canted when aired up.
Yes. You want your airbags to be perfectly flat when deflated in the relaxed position. They will naturally bend and twist a little with suspension movements. That's normal. But obviously the less the better. They're built for some though.
So my 63 impala is really bouncy in the front , he sent me firestone air bags and monroe shocks.. air lift bags rear. Should I get the ss7 bags for the front and maybe better shocks?
Kevin Hornbuckle yes they do!! I could have touched more on the specifics., But most of that info can be found online and wanted to keep this video short-ish
Where are you located trying to find someone to help with my bagged install I'm trying to do a 2006 Dodge Ram single cab I have a kit from bcfab and full rear Notch kit from ekstensive Metal Works
I'm sure someone makes a kit! If you want to lay out all the way, you won't be able to get a kit for that though. Just bagged and about 6" lower I'm sure someone makes a kit.
@@Tinman2Kustoms I see a kit by EZ air but there are few reviews on it. I don't really need it to lay all the way out just ride low and sit lower. Just something so I can raise it up and not drag everywhere like I do now with just lowering springs.
I already have an air ride on my 96 impala I want to switch out to a better bag in the front because it’s hard to describe but the air bags in front there now bent outwards if that makes any sense and it rubs on the sway bar links I think it has cheap airbags I had lifted at a shop in San Antonio what do you recommend on airbags just to swap them out
That's far too generic of a question. There are hundreds of different combinations of parts that any one single truck could use. Then you throw in all of the different makes and models of trucks. Literally thousands of combinations of parts.
@@crisgonzalez6788 best is a matter of opinion and the use you have planned for the vehicle. I'd recommend you get ahold of airlift performance and see what they can do for you
Great video thanks. I need help with a small diameter bag and can't find anything. I'm doing a golf cart so they don't need to be super strong. Can you help in any way?
Some of these airlift kits come with thick brackets. For example the ones for the 2018 accord in the rear. Could they be trimmed a little to lay a little harder?
I have a two inch hole at the top where the bolt goes with nothing to bolt to. Is there a gusset or metal piece with a hole that I can use to make the upper cup hold tight to the shock tower?
Mr Tinman, I've watched this video several times. One question I have, does the tall cup go on the top and work better with the bag lower to the lower control arm for a specific reason?
I have a 67 cad and want to bag it..i already have a tank (endo cvt) need bags, fittings, lines, etc what would you recommend? Im looking for a comfortable ride
You can use standard Teflon pipe tape, or I prefer to use a liquid sealer with Teflon, like ARP's thread sealer or something you can get at a hardware store. But not the loctite brand stuff. You want something that has Teflon in it.
Is there any drawback to the sleeve style bags? I'm planning a rod build and I want full fenders so that doesn't leave a lot of width room for the double convoluted bags as far as I can tell
You could do either. It's preference. The 2500 is easier to work with because it's smaller. But the 2600 is a stronger bag so it will take less air pressure to lift the front of the vehicle, which will give you a softer ride. Either will work. The 2500 would be my recommendation if you're not sure.
“More cushion for the pushin”...Your videos kick butt man. Thanks for sharing!

You can use standard Teflon pipe tape, or I prefer to use a liquid sealer with Teflon, like ARP's thread sealer or something you can get at a hardware store. But not the loctite brand stuff. You want something that has Teflon in it.
Is there any drawback to the sleeve style bags? I'm planning a rod build and I want full fenders so that doesn't leave a lot of width room for the double convoluted bags as far as I can tell
sleeve bags don't lift nearly as far. But for some applications they work okay
So i want to run air lift dominators on the front of my 65 chevy c10 which size do you recommend, they will be on the stock a arms the d2500 or d2600
You could do either. It's preference. The 2500 is easier to work with because it's smaller. But the 2600 is a stronger bag so it will take less air pressure to lift the front of the vehicle, which will give you a softer ride. Either will work. The 2500 would be my recommendation if you're not sure.
