Anyone run such high spring rates that their worried about their airbags going off bc I am and I go have no idea how to get to it to unplug it without taking out the whole dash anyone know how to get to it I’m running BC extreme lows with 14k swift springs and it’s a stiff ride and where I live there’s a lot of pot hole

the only reason the bags would go off is if the crash sensors are triggered during a hard hit (of a pothole or dip).
likely you will have wheel/undercarriage/oil pan issues first before the bags go off if such a shock were to occur.

removing or unplugging one bag effectively disables the entire system so why not just pull the SRS fuse, guaranteeing no airbag deploy at all? of course in an incident of an actual crash...

i admit i had this anxiety when my front upper control arms would hit the shock towers since i didn't clearance them for the upper ball joints.
i didn't run slammed (air suspension) so only on occasion did it smack, but i was more concerned with the ball joint and knuckle metal fatigue.
