I'm with you on this one. I just bought an A100 that has been dropped to the ground. flip kit in the rear and the front springs were severely dearched. the front has air shocks to maintain ride quality. the shocks are too long though and they bottom out if they dont have enough air in em. I'm curious to see if airover shocks will work. They are designed to replace coilovers but I dont see why they wouldn't work. I need to measure and see if they'll clear everything.

I'd talk to Air RIde Technologies, they might be able to advise you more accurately. But I'd imagine that bagging one wouldn't be that hard. I'm sure they would have something you could make work for ya. Though some bracket fab may be in order. Or possibly one of those "generic" load leveler kits that sit on top of the spring like this one:
