Everyone says to use the 2500s because you don't have to cut as much, but how much more lift would you get out of the 2600s rather than the 2500s...and would it be easier to hop or be able to hop higher with the 2600s?

 

[Diablo]

i cut a fock load outta my pockets for 2600's, just because I wanted them, cause I don't wanna be like everyone else, but yet I do have a v8.. so it'll help some I suppose? I dunno? i just done 2600's cause I wanted to.....

2500s and 2600s offer the same amout of lift out of your front suspension. People with V8's go with 2600s cause it's a more powerful and heavier engine. There are more advantages to 2600s up front, like it takes like half the pressure to lift to the same height as 2500s, and this consquently is a better ride cause ride height is at a lower pressure... but then again, it IS a lot that ya have to cut out. Strength of the frame isnt an issue... it's just.. most dont wanna cut that much out.

I wish I could go into every single post on every single board and change 2500 and 2600 to 255c and 224c

Everything cab said right on the money...

 

[g00dnick]

lmao...my bad my bad... 255c vs 224c

 

[g00dnick]

Would it have any effect on the hopping? Like since the bigger bags take less to lift, would be it easier to hop and would it hop higher than the smaller ones?

Obsess about part numbers much???:blaugh:
JK dude, i'm the say way with people here and the "SSD" stupidity.

 

[SlammedDime]

Yes, in theory, you will hop easier with the larger bags, and that goes for any larger bag... slams, airlifts, or firestones.

So Matthew..

mann what about if you put the big ass semi/dump truck/whatever bags on there mannnn could you hop real high mannnn itd be hard to make them fit and itd be 4 feet off the ground laid out mannn but you could hop and fly away couldnt you mannnn?

Also, Matthew, how many cubic centimeters of air does a standard Firestone 2600 bag contain when "limp"?

 

[railn20s]

I am running 2600 up front and 2500 in the rear, becasue you need the 2600 in the front if your tukn20's so you can get enough lift

 

[Ricky]

Hey Diablo do you have anypics of what you cut out for a 244c?

I want see how much is needed. Everyone has a guess,but I want an actuall pic..Thanx

How so?

2500s and 2600s both max out the front suspension

 

[NCHEVYHEVN]

Yea I think the 224c bags only lift like .1 inch taller than the 255c bags.

 

[neverfinished94]

got this from the guage site

255c (2500)
Min. Height: 3"
Installed Height: 4.5"-5"
Max Height: 7"
Diameter(Inflated): 6.5"

224c (2600)
Min. Height: 3"
Installed Height: 5"-5.5"
Max Height: 8"
Diameter(Inflated): 8"

 

[suicidal]

the front suspension maxes out before the bag does. the 224c will not give you the full 8" of lift cause the suspension does not have 8" of travel.

 

[cab]

The front is a lever setup... youll get 10 inches, give or take a little, of lift with practically any bag.

Depending on the cups, you may need to trim to lay on the 20s, and will lose some lift.

 

[stinkynathan]

outline of what i cut out from the passenger's side (i ended up having to cut a little more out at the back edge)

driver's side this looks WAY ugly in the pic. i cleaned things up a lot after i took this pic. i also had to grind some more out in certain spots for more clearance, clarence..

you get the general idea though

later,

That without dropped spindles? Mine don't lift no 10 inches

I'd say closer to 8.
