I have a friend that has a bagged mazda and the last time I saw it he was taking it to a shop (Dreamakers) because one of the welds broke from the shitty job some one else did on it. The bag looked all squashed like that. I guess over time if it is set in there like that it would look that way when you took it off. Ask avtekk he would know if you should sell it or make it a pencil holder out of it or not
well see I knew he bought them used, but I was wondering if when he bought them they were like that, I wonder what happened to them when the person he bought them from had them....
It looks like they were mounted on something that twisted and sat there for awhile. Since it is thick rubber, it will begin to hold that shape after a period.
You can tell that bag was on the front suspension, because of where the port is, and the way the bag looks. Those look like AirLift bags, so now I know not to use AirLift bags on the front of my truck. I took my stones out after bein in there for over a year, and they looked like they did when I stuck 'em in, minus the fact they didn't stand as tall, but they sure as **** didn't look like that.

air lift bags will not do that after a certain while, mine do not look like that! and they have been on my truck for a good while now. those where either a defect bag, or some bad install.
looks like they were over extended by filling the front up with to much air, and then let sit for a long time.. they were deffiently on the front of the truck.
but if those were made like that, and theres nothing wrong with them.. that would mean you would only need to trim the front of the spring pocket out.. sorta like you do with air lifts offset cups.
send that pic to airlift and ask them about them..
The front cups I got from the guy were already trimmed up.....dont know why they would be made like that.....Oh well, still doesnt look right too me. Where's AVtekk when you need him!
