Dominator Air Bag Rubbing Issues with PB Extreme Dropmember

I have a front Extreme Dropmember on my 71 with Dominator 2600 bags that came with the kit. The upper part of the bag seems to touch the frame when it has less than 80 psi of air in it, but is fine when it has over 80 psi of air in it.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a way to resolve it without buying new slam bags which are 1" less in diameter? I would like to ride low without worrying about rubbing a hole in my air bags.
Thanks

I'll get you a picture of mine this weekend but I did find this picture that might help.
The arrows show where the bag hits the side of the cross member when aired out or at low PSI .

Sounds good! Email will be best, as I don't always find myself on the forum consistently. However, the tech@pbab.com email goes straight to me, and are a priority.

Thanks!

I had the same problem. I bought some slams instead.

Must be an issue because of the 1" narrowed arms. I was hoping that I didn't have to buy new bags considering the dom's that I got with the kit are new.

I think that the upper bag mount just puts the air bag too close to the frame/cross member location. I'm going to shoot a few pics today and shoot them to PB.
