airbag guys..what did you do with the front bag brackets?

[crazychevyc10]

hey guys...jsut wondering how you guys have your front air bag brackets setup? I dont know if any of you have a similar bracket to mine but i'm trying to figure if i should remove the bracket for the stopper so i can drill holes in them? See picture below...

We mounted the bag in the spring pockets, removed the stopper, and bolted the plate to the upper control arm. Is the bag upside down in your pic?

i'm hoping this is the right bracket? I bought this from another guy that stated it was for the 68's. does the bottom of the bag suppose to fit right into the spring pocket? also the bracket on top does the outer edge go inside of the spring pocket? it doesn't look right to me.... see pics below

Most use a flat upper bag plate that is the same shape as the crossmember.
This plate bolts in for acces to the air line fitting.
Then the lower is just a cup that sets in the coil spring pocket.
Like this,...

Thank you! So..i just found out that the brackets I have are not the right one for my truck. The pockets are 6 inches and my pockets are 5.5. And you're right the top plate is suppose to flat and its not. Totally bought the wrong one!
