Air Bag cup height?

I have SD lower bag cups for my suburban and would like to get them cut down before I have them coated but I cannot remember what they can be cut down to. They are right at 2.5 inches tall out of the box.

Most cut them to 1-5/8" or 1-3/4".
But,... I've never done it myself.

for me, more drop. I know the cups I bought could be cut down for more drop because they're made with a little extra on them. Some make them shorter, some taller.

Dont guess or hope the info is correct. Always mock things up & measure w/your parts.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
