Replace 02 XStar rear ballast tank with sacs?

[John Jared]

I am thinking of taking out the tanks in the rear and putting in 600lbs sacs and hooking them up the the pumps and plumbing. That way i'd have 1200lbs vs 300 or whatever they are with a flick of the switch.

Has anyone out there already done this? If so let me know what you think.

i haven't but there's no reason why it wouldn't work. the only thing is, you'll have to make sure all the air is out of the sacs.

I was originally going to try to hook my bags up to the ballast tanks. I have sacs with the hole in the bottom to drain. I was going to put a T in the line and then I'd get the bags to fill with the tanks.

If I fill the bags and the tanks that's too much weight without adding some up front. Most of the time we'd be fine with just 600 total on each side and the factory sack in the middle. No pumps to mess with and quick fill/empty. Then on the weekends we would probably put a 600 pounder on the floor in the middle.
