Also for just a little more, you can get the smaller bag which I believe will drop it yet another couple inches However you lose that same amount of lift as of you drop. IIRC thats smaller bag fully inflated gives you normal ride height i believe thats what "Chrispy" is using.

nope, its a cap for underneath. Install first, then bag inside. It would need to be made of strong steal so that it can be rubbed on with out wearing it out.

Simplest thing would be make a much longer mount under the bag (like what the UAS kit has, but longer)and it'll clear the bag, but kind of utter it useless.

Well...lol
I don't think I will drive slammed, just when parked or new pavement
LA streets are unforgiving & don't get me started on the freeways -_-

So I have been going back a forth with this guy trying to get a lower price all day & finally I got it down
He was asking $2,380
Got it down to $2,000

but what I saved there will go to the...
"Dakota Digital Gauge 400 PSI" & maybe
"10 Switch, Playstation Switchbox" or "5 Switch, Switchbox"
from UAS
