What's the advantage of a dual port bag?

Also I'm going to put slam HE7 up front, should I go to a HE8 in the back or keep that a 7 still?

the advantage is speed. you can use a fill valve to each of the 2 ports or use a fill valve to one port and the dump valve to the other.

the 8 should give you an extra inch of lift over the 7

You can also use one port for lift and the other for dump. Looks cool in some aplications.

just stay with the re7s in the back. and the re8 wont give you any more lift, the re7s and re8s get 11" of lift. they crush to 2.8" and have 8.2" of usable stroke. i wouldnt use the re8s unless your putting them over the axle and planning on doing some heavy towing or something. and with the dual port bags ive got the he7s upfront on my s10, i use 1 for fill and 1 for the dump. just dumps a lil faster cuz the dump valve is right there at the bag. also the RE series are the single port bags and the HE series are the dual port bags.

im using the XS6s for the front and XS7s for the rear and going to use one port for fill and one for dump. Like everyone else said dual port is a speed advantage.

if thats the only advantage I'll probably stick with RE's. I have all half inch and hate the speed on fill when i'm doin 80 on the freeway and need to air up. I've actually been thinking about going to 3/8"

according to the slam specialties website the RE8 gets to 12" instead of 11" like the RE7.

what i posted is correct...... the overall height is not the lift, what i posted is the useable stroke from collapsed to fully inflated......
