    I did a lot of research in regard to ride quality, etc., I run RE-6 Slam bags @ the front with CanDo tubular a-arms & Beltect dropped spindles & Doestech shocks.
    At the rear I run a forward Tri- 4 link ,Fire Stone sleeve bags in front of the axle & Doestech shocks.
    I also run 8 valves , 3/8's & same on the line. Two pumps & two tanks.
    Controlled by a Air Lift Auto Pilot .
    My ride & handling is great , no problems in many years !!:cool:

    I was thinking the re6's is what I'd go with. but I kind of want to see what other poeple are running.
    I dont think I'll change my arm yet but that could change before I'm done. because I would like to nerrow up my front end an inch on each side

    Most common on a yota is a 2500 up front (same size as re-6), and 2600 the in the rear (same as re-7). If doing bag on axle a sleeve bag like truck action mentioned would be the best. If doing bag on bar then a convulated bag works the best.

    Im running slams re-6 up front cando arms tri 4link with bag on bar with an re-7. Rides great just need shocks haha but that'll wait til I put in my Lexus IRS. My runner has contitech an they're super spongey in my opinion compared to the slams.

    Same here. It's pretty typical. I've seen RE-7's up front, which allows for less pressure to lift, but you have to cup the rails to make them fit.
