I'm running monroe standard hardbody shocks. With the pressure at 80 PSI It's slightly softer then the 1" belltech drop coils I had in there.

If you aren't running shocks, then I'd make sure that you put them in before you go changin bags (unless you're running a 2b6/2500 lb bag).

Before you buy any other bags, put your shocks on.

What pressure do you run?

i got conti 2 ply 2600's up front with no shocks, it's stiff as hell, and i love it. but maybe the extra weight from the V8 has something to do with that.

i have 2600 contis on my fullsize. i gained lift when i put re-7's on but the ride was too stiff. i bagged my truck so i can ride low and have a good ride. losing lift isnt a concern to me.

at 80 PSI, you should have a pretty decent ride. Can you describe what you don't like about it? i.e. Hard when I hit bumps, floats, bouncy, etc.

Also, what size tire are you running? Can you lay out? What height are you at when you are at 80 PSI?
