that is a generic picture, I have a set of DML lower arm's. the spring/bag mount is lower in the arm as well which will lower the truck even more.
personaly they seem over price'd. for a few hundred more you can get custom arm's that will correct some of the geometry.

!st of all because that is an upper control arm, not a lower. lol I have lcas by djm on my truck and they were designed for springs, and I had to completely modify them because the spring cup was way too deep for a bag setup. I don't know if thats the case here, just a heads up.

I would say no they wouldn't work with bags unless you do a ton of work to them.Stick to your stock control arms or buy some made for air bags.

If you go to the DJM web site they specificity say Do Not use any of their lower control arms with air bags.

Is there a specific reason you're leaning toward tubular arms? Asthetics, functionality, or performance? If so, there might be better options...

Pretty much all the above, just don't like the idea of spending a million dollars on lowers
