air bag ?

This has been a popular topic lately, but I don't believe anything has been said, or if it has I've missed it, about when you bag a vehicle, what happens to the driveshaft? I mean, say if I were to bag my truck tomorrow, would I even have to worry about my 2 piece driveshaft? After all the discussions I don't feel so in the dark about mounting the bags, what components are needed, etc., but I just was thinking about the driveshaft thing this morning.

I'm running a one-piece in mine and have no problems. I've got bags and a c-notch in the rear. When it's aired out, the drive shaft has about a 1/4 clearance where it goes through the cross member right behind the cab. To go any lower, I'd need to switch to a 2-piece (no thanks!) or modify that cross member.
