do the lowers just sit there. I would have thought that they bolt in but everyone says they sit there. im interested in whether other people have this problem...

They just sit there, the same as the spring just sits there in a stock setup. Some lower cups I've seen were not straight cut on the bottom, they had a little notch that fit in the little notch in the pocket.

I haven't notice mine moving at all. I have not cut my cups, but I will cut about 2" off in about a month, I might cut them to fit the pocket better, just because I'm cutting anyway.

This maybe a dumb question but how do you align a truck with bags? Do you just pick a height or do you budget for tires regularly?

You pick a height. You have a "ride height" that is where you want to run your truck and you have it done there. You can roll low or roll high as needed, but on the freeway or going to get beer, you have it at ride height.
