Re: disapointed
In many cases, the air spring size with the upper plate mounted over the upper spring cup gives the suspension a similar height as the coil spring, which means that you'll need to cup the lower control arm spring mount as mentioned earlier. This is one of the advantages of going with an aftermarket lower control arm that has a cupped lower spring mount built in. Here's a photo of my tubular arms with the air springs deflated...

Re: disapointed
The tie rods are just OE replacements...are you referring to the adjuster? I made them from steel bar stock many years ago, I copied the set on my friend's street rod. I believe you can get nicer aluminum ones from CPP...at least I saw them on display at the last CPP cruise.
