I have noticed that with slinging a bailout, i find that I have to put both my 6cuft argon tank on my right side as well as cramming my can light next to it. What do other people do here? Isnt it cramped to have the argon mounted on the side of the bailout? cant it be tangled in moving bottles around? I mount the 6cuft bottle to my SS backplate via two Halcyon velcro straps.

Why do you put the argon bottle on the right? I have it on the LHS, attached to my backplate. You need to make sure that the valve doesn't snag the d-ring on your hip, but if it does then adjust it up or down.
