I don't know why this is getting the better of me. To what extreme should I set the bottom plate for the bag. Seems that if I set the plate to be parallel to the top at ride height when I collapse the bag the bottom plate is angled like a < or >. What do you out there do. This must be quite common with just about every A-arm air ride setup.
My top Mount (Bolt in):
 

 
top Mount installed: Right now my top mount has a slite up angle.
 

 
Top Mount Ride Height with bag:

 
Here are some other photos of my project: Triangulated Four link, Sectioned Gas tank, Lambo hinge...

i think youre ok. you wont be rolling around layed out or aired all the way up. my top bracket has more angle than that. but i set mine up to be straight when layed out.

your plates should be parallel at laid out this prevents damage to the bag and proper use of the bump stop
