Those bars your talking about are called "strut rods" and they triangulate the front suspension to prevent your wheels from walking. You can eliminate those by doing a number of things. You can build a lower control arm that triangulates that movement (basicly make the lower control arm into an A-arm) or you can reverse the strut rod. To do this you need to build a new link that triangulates and mounts from under your frame to under your lower control arm. Make sure to weld the new bars on with the old ones still bolted in place this will take the guesswork out of designing the length of the new bars. Also, the sway bar should be taken out for clearance in most cases. You can use a sway bar with air suspension it just makes it harder to hit sides.
