what to do to make front cross member lay flat?

as of now my 66 has bags on front without drop spindles. with no air in bags the front crossmember measures 5 1/4 off ground. i realize with 3 inch drop spindles the cross member will then measure 2 1/4 off the ground. what are yall guys doing to make crossmember lay flat?

XXL that would lower the truck 1.5 but i need to rework the bags or some thing to allow the a arms to travel up more to make the cross member go lower than it is. so i was wondering if other trucks was laying the front cross member or what?

You need to section the front X-member and add spindles to lay it out flat. W/O a sectioned X-member, the LCA's will always make contact w/ the pavement first.
