I agree with you Ron but if the new bag is twice the diameter of the oe it will require less pressure to reach a similar level of support. Hopefully get a seat of the pants test this weekend. Mark has over 1000 miles on his

I love the idea of choices and this looks like a good one. I would encourage someone to do a good evaluation before too many are built. The fact that the various systems require diiferent air pressures to reach a certain ride height means that the ride and roll rates may be different. My feeling is that the current rear roll rate of the stock GMC is too low and I would hesitate to make it lower yet.

For the most affordable shipping, the US Postal service has several
different size Priority boxes that ship for a fixed rate for up to 75
pounds. If you can fit it in the box it goes Priority anywhere in the 48
continental for about $12. Maybe a few pennies more at this time. But
still a great deal. I sent my son in NJ a box jam filled with sockets,
wrenches etc. Weighed 55lbs. $12. Use the good stranded packing tape.

Sully,
11"L x 8.5"W x 5.5"H. There are other sizes also.

Sounds like a great candidate. Use lots of packing material.

The 12x12x5 1/2 will fit one set(one bag). With everyone finding better and better bag deals on the net its looking like a complete set with bags will end up being just a hair over $600 for galvanized. Thats pretty cool!!
