Default Air bags+fun = oops

So today I was changing out my tranny fluid and figured I would look around under the box.
Well a couple of weeks ago I got a flat on one of my 20's so I have been running stockers since. I could of got a new tire for the 20 but have been enjoying driving around at full drop.
We don't have very good roads(as do we all) around here and alot of construction.
So the other day I was cruising down our main road in Spokane division and for a split second I reached down to grab my cd case and WHAM I hit a large patch in the road that was more like a huge speed bump.

I bottomed out bad. not like the baggin and draggin like normal but a hard bang.

As I was under th box today I saw that I hit the cross brace on the passenger side and bent it. oops

Well as I was lookin around for any more damage I see that at full drop my passenger side drive line rubs on my frame and power steering belt.
