[a/s] Stabilizer installation



I have a '69 Overlander (27') which we bought last year and
are working to get it refurbished.  One of the things I
don't like about it is the stabilizer system.  It has four
pipes, one on each corner than fit through a bracket.  The
bracket has a bolt to tighten to hold the pipe and
stabilizer the trailer.  I'd like to install those BAL
crankdown stabilizers to the undercarriage.  The problem is
twofold.  First, the gas lines are routed under the trailer
and would therefore have to be moved I would guess.  Second
in the back, the bumber assembly sort or drops down from the
rest of the undercarriage.  I'm not sure how to install
them.  

They seem like they should be easy enough to install, but
these issues seem to complicate things.  Anybody have any
advise, or should I maybe have my Airstream dealer mess with
it?
