Re: disapointed

In many cases, the air spring size with the upper plate mounted over the upper spring cup gives the suspension a similar height as the coil spring, which means that you'll need to cup the lower control arm spring mount as mentioned earlier. This is one of the advantages of going with an aftermarket lower control arm that has a cupped lower spring mount built in. Here's a photo of my tubular arms with the air springs deflated...
