    can someone give me specific measurements for welding my air bag brackets to the control arms? do they differ in any way or are they in the same place with stock control arms?
    sorry for the lack of knowledge in my threads.

    Well, there isn't an exact measurement. It would depend on where the top of the bag sits on the upper mount. So, with the bag mounted to the upper, make the lower control arm parallel to the upper bag mount and mark it.
    Make sure you allow for enough room between the bag and the frame for clearance...

    Don't make it too close to the steering also.
