Control arms and strong arms

I already have DJM uppers and lower control arms on my truck. The lowers I modified to work with air bags, because when I bagged my truck the first time nobody made a lower tubular control arm to work with bags. Well, hindsight is 20/20 and no realize that the angle my bag is at at full lift is not the greatest, not to mention I ditched my sway bar thinking it was the thing to do. So, I have a few questions...

will the strong arms lay out on a 245/35/20. My truck has the crossmember raised 1.5 inches and have 3" drop spindles. As it sits, it lays flat out on the frame and some blocks I welded to the bottom of the cross member so the control arms don't drag. They are only 1/8" lower the the control arms.

Can I use the Tubular DJM uppers with the strong arms, or do the ART uppers have to be used for correct geometry?

Does any one have any pictures with strong arms at full dump and also all the way up? I mean of the arms them selves.

What sway bar should I run? Does air ride have a kit for a sway bar to work with strong arms specifically?

here is a few pics of what I have now if it helps... sorry the pics kinda suck but I wasn't exactly taking pictures of the suspension and they are all I have uploaded...
