Airbag Storage
Custom airbag holders are typical installed horizon as scene in the picture below. However, larger airbags and ground plates can also be built to store the them vertically in an apparatus. Also consider any future airbags that the truck my have. It would be a mistake to leave wasted space around airbag compartments that could be used in the future.
