I am thinking of cutting round plates to weld flush into the pockets of the control arms. Might even have the whole pocket cut out. For yours, Ive seen where guys cut out the spring pocket an weld in a "cup" that is big enough to house the bag. If I find the pick I'll post it. Yours will sit lower the control arm than mine because of the ride height. THe crossmember is a different story, I need to be able tighten the bolts on my airbags. Like i said the plates I had cutout would work but I just dont like the look. I wish I wasnt so damn picky!
