We talked the other night on the phone about the exhaust(Any Luck?)... For the front, most people use a "plate" on the top & either no cup or about a 1 1/2" cup on the bottom...

Here's a link to the front brackets at Suicide Doors... Pic below...

Welcome aboard! We need pics of your truck(s)... ;)

Joe,

you can run NO CUP? will that not hurt the bags?

(I have tall cups in mine already is why I ask)

I've heard of guy's using no lower cup(ghettocrewzer for one), just bolting bag into lower A arm. I personally wouldn't try it, I had to replace a bag on the road before, not fun... They say that the arm is smooth enough that it won't affect the bag...

How short of a cup can you run, with no problems ?

please, for your safety and anyone else that may be on the road the same time as you are, use the lower cups.

I would say an inch, but 67Fleet cut his down further without issue. If you look at how deep the hole is, I think as long as the cup sits all the way in, you're fine.

I have the Suicide Doors cups and I could cut about 2" off based on how high the cup sticks up. But looking at the site, it looks like they are a lot shorter now, so you might not want/need to cut them any more.

These look a lot shorter than mine:

I try it and didn't like the way the bags looked, they looked like they were going to tear. But i have seen people do it.:cool:

3/4" is the max I would cut it down to. That's what mine are at. It's the perfect height to get the cup to seat in the LCA without any rubbage.

Re: Bags
 
yea you could do 3/4 on the bottom and a cup in the top instead of the plate.

I Did'nt Even Think About Putting A Plate On Top And Cup On Bottom. I Was Use To Doing It The Other Way Around.
How Low Are You Guys? Spindels? Thanks
