That comment is very true, but I am sure you would agree that the bags designed ride height is one of the most critical points of setting up an air system that rides well.

I'm almost 100% sure those are Firestone's pictured. The pewter looking top, and the color of the rubber give it away, not to mention that slam bags have the rubber going over the side of the caps.

Re: Anyone have pics of their rear air bag setup?

Not necessary for the rear as Slammed67's photo illustrates. I run an upper mount on my rear air spring (photo below), so that I can route my air line under the frame rail. The front typically requires an upper mounting plate, which covers the upper coil spring pocket.

Are you referring to the trailing arm? If so, no. I do have an adjustable panhard bar since my ride height is considerably lower than stock.

Re: Anyone have pics of their rear air bag setup?

I only wanted to be able to control my ride height so I went with 8" bags that can go up to 12" in height, I installed a top cage to make the install easy, and just bolted the air bag directly to the trailing arm and bolted it on. I inflate with a schrader valve and it works like a champ. Cost less than $200.00
