Re: Bag ??'s RE8 or 2500"s for rear baggin?

I had 7" bags on the back of my 68 originally & feel the smaller 6"/2500's would have been a better choice because it would have taken slightly more air pressure to achieve the same ride height. The larger bags needed to be @ <30psi to get the ride height I wanted. That low on pressure caused a bouncy ride. I wound up going to a 2" lowering block & bumped air psi up to 35psi. made a big difference in ride quality (no other changes were made).

When I set-up my 64, I went w/the smaller 2500's just for this reason. Ride Tech also recommends the smaller 6-6.5"/2500 bags for the 6x-72 truck arm rear suspensions if you need a professional opinion.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
