I have 20s and airbags on my 97 Sonoma and I think that the upper control arm is going to contact the two tubes on the headers that wrap around the steering shaft when it is aired down all the way. has anyone had any problems with this at all?

i have heard of people having problems with this when the run excessive amounts of caster and camber on there alignments. They could be notched for clearence but i would box the control arm in when your done for some extra strength.

Mine do that with 18\'s aired out. The tire rests on the inner fender, and it dented them just a little bit.

one of my friends truck did this his coils were cut majorly before he bought the truck it almost closed two pipes we installed actual lowering springs and fixed the problembut in your case id say dent them just enough or dont lower the truck that far
