cutting lower control arm cups down
 
Starting to bag the front of my 73 c10 using the upper plate and lower cups which are a little over 2inches. How much can I trim off the cup to avoid rubbing if anyone has done before. Thanks

Ok so you did remove inner fenders ? Once removed are you control arms on the ground
