And what is the difference with the single port or dual port? And also what psi should i go with?

the difference in single and dual port is pretty obvious.

most ppl use the dual ported bags if they are into hopping. that way you can run dual fill valves and really move some air.

also, pressure ratings depend on what you want the truck to do again. are you gonna run nitrogen or a engine driven compressor and run 200+ psi? or are you gonna run an electric compressor?

slam bags are proven to lift higher than any other bag of the same size. i personally dont like them much, ride too stiff for me. but w/e.

You live in georgetown?

slams are the best bag to go with. worth the extra 20 bux each.

Yes I will have to agree with everyone else that slams are the best way to go. I have them on everthing that i have bagged and everything that i have bagged!! You will get alot more lift out of these bags than any other on the market!! And are you going to be running nitrogen or compressors?

i'm going to use compressors,and i just want to be able to do fbss, nothing really fancy. I want to be able to lift the truck quick but i don't want the drop to be so fast, i didn't like it on my honda with the cylinders lift and dropped to fast.

your best bet would be single port, re-72s all around. 4 1/2" valves (fills) and 4 3/8" valves (dumps) with 1/2" line.

that way you arent spendin more money than you need to. if you end up getting all 1/2" valves, you can run reducers on the dumps to slow em down to your liking as well.

now should i run 2 small tanks and two compressors, or 1 tank and 1 compressor will do? Thanks everyone for all the info, i am very new to the truck scene so i have many questions and want to do it right.

on a fullsize, youd want decent volume to help you lift. id say somewhere around 8-10 gallons of air and 2 viair 450s set at 150 would do the trick.
