rear air bags

[bmfpeterson]

I posted this post in the general forum and thought I should put it in with the other suspension gurus... so if I broke some rules sorry..let me know how to change it....

I am getting ready to do bags in place of the rear coils... but have a few delimas... I built trailing arms out of 2 x3 and instead of a bushings I did heims in the front. I am running a big tire and need to keep the bags inside the outside of the frame rail...if that makes sense...

So I was thinking of welding a plate on the arm to bring the bag inside enough to clear the frame rail, and a plate on the frame rail above to match... but is that going to mess with the handling and is the arm going to want to roll over because of the bag not being mounted on top of the arm?????
