They will replace any bag that fails that wasnt your fault (rubbing something, too much PSI etc...)  hopefully ill be working down there soon... =) had a set of slams on the front my truck 4 years, and i bought them used from a shop when i first bagged my truck, so they were prolly like 7-8 years old and they never failed me.  and when i did the back, i had 4ply 2600 contis w/ no shocks and it was like a sea saw in the back, threw on some slams and it rode like a dream, and got atleast 2 more inches of lift, and with shocks on it rode perfect.

Since the Dominators have came out we will not use another bag because of he excellent ride and the best lift in the industry.

Dominators baloon a little too much for my liking, which would limit where I would consider using them. I pretty much use slams as much as possible for my own vehicles and customers. Never had an issue. I had the Doms in the back of my caprice and I liked them, but I didnt own the car long enough for me to start recommending them over a slam bag.

I had the D2500s in my car, and they definitely ballooned bigger than an re6, which is the comparable bag. I believe you are comparing the dimensions of a D2500 to an RE7 which should be compared to a D2600. And I know guys that are cut for RE7s have less clearance if they switch to a D2600.
