    Everyone I know running 7s have to pocket the frame. Even with tube arms. In an airlift guy myself, however.

    I'm running ss7's up front

    Originally running conti's 2500's. Now SS7's. Got a bit more lift and are actually thinner. No cups either. My opinion? If you have a choice between the re's vs ss's, go with the ss's. Their website has all the specs

    Re 6's up front and 7's in rear. No probs. Might pocket front when i z for 7's for more lift with new controll arms.I think I get 7 1/4 lift up front as it sits now.

    I run the RE6's in the front with about 10" of travel, and the RE7's in the rear with 15 inches of travel. The SS's are a better spec'd bag and I will switch to those eventually, but really have no reason to do it now.

    As with any bag, do NOT over extend them. They will fail. You really need some type of limiting feature to keep from doing that. Whether it be shocks, straps or just the physical limits of other suspension components. If they get over extended they will delaminate from the mounts or tear, neither of which is ideal.
