you wouldn't be using a tractor trailer type rolling sleeve bag. yes, those will hold a large amount of weight, but they're too expensive and too big to fit anywhere. the slam specialties bags are rated very high, something like supporting 4000 pounds each. the rolling sleeve bags for our trucks are rated only around 1500 each, which is also why everyone uses them in the minis. typically, you may go with a RE-8 for the front (8" diameter) and RE-7 for the rear, getting your ride height pressures to between 65-70 psi depending on your setup. ART kits run lower pressures, but are only engineered to drop the truck to a certain point. ART runs a sleeve bag in the rear of their F150 kit, but like i said, it only warrants you a certain limit of engineering.

Why wouldnt you go with the rolling sleeve design they would hold more weight than the standard teir bag? Just trying to find out more info is all and thanks for your time.

if you're doing a custom setup, don't use rolling sleeve, they capacity is only good for mini trucks. check out suicidedoors.com. I used Slam Specialties, they're by far the best ride out there; internal bumpstops and they get smaller in diameter as they're filled up, they don't balloon like others.

Smart thinking man never thought of doing that. If you dont mind me asking do you ever tow anything with your truck? If you do what style of bags did you go with? Im thinking of going with a semi truck style of bag only not so heavy duty called the rolling sleeve.
