I know 2600 bags extend to like 9” and the titan 2500s extend to 11.5. I don’t want to be so low that I’ll I’m dragging headers just even and be able to throw something in the bed and level it back up. https://youtu.be/b6IwMEQoWx8 Here’s a link to my truck. And does anyone have a picture of their truck running what I’m looking to do? Thanks guys!
I did my rear setup exactly as you described using a RideTech kit with a single schrader valve. I lose about a pound of air every two weeks. I have had over 1000 lbs in the bed and the bags worked great; just add air until you get the ride height you want. I use a portable 5 gallon air tank. Currently running 2” blocks with a C notch with 35 lbs (as shown in the pic). The ride is smooth and it still handles well. Damn things are pricey though. $480 is the best price I could find.

Front: 2" spindles, 3" springs; the rear can go about 3" lower and still have decent ride quality.
