Psi in front bags?

Hi guys,

I was wondering what psi you drive around with? Currently, I run 55-60 psi while driving around.

have no idea, higher p.s.i. when the cops are around, and lower p.s.i when another custom car is around!

I tend to be at 69-78 lbs in front with sbc. It looks like 5'' drop with 18'' wheels.

Re: Psi in front bags?

There are really a ton of variables here David......which truck/front suspension design, also what bag is being used, and very importantly how much weight the bags need to lift.

In my 2003 v6 s10 with a 7" front bag......I would say 70-85 depending on driving style and drop parts.

In my 1995 4 cylinder sonoma with 6"slam specialties hopper bags.......I was about 50-60 psi on stock spindles.......plus the bags were very hard to compress.

1964 coupe Deville with 6" bags in front........about 115 psi for around town.....135 bad roads
