I am using Slam RE7's in the front, and RE6's in the rear. I am about to order a 2 more RE7's for the rear for the added ince of lift. I like the internal stops and they don't seem to balloon either.

With 2.5" drop spindles and uncut Suicide Doors cups in the front and a 3" cup in the rear, it looks like this:

The rear is sitting on the stock bump stops and my frame is uncut. I will go about 3" lower once I get my new exhaust. I will notch the frame and cut the cups. I'm also getting slightly smaller tires I think.

Jimmydean, why would you need cups in the back, wouldn't it just bolt from the trailing arm to the frame?

I didn't need cups, but I had them and without, the back would be lower than the front. This way it sits even and I didn't have to notch my frame.

I will pull the back cups out after I notch the frame. I will cut the front cups down to keep the stance even.
