Want to make bag cups...

I want to make bag cups for the front lca on my 72 blazer. I plan on going with 3" dropped spindles. What size pipe do you use and what height do you make the cup? I am not cupping the LCA.

I am all for saving a buck where you can, but have you priced the cups? Unless you have the pipe, steel plate, and skills to do it, buying them might not be a bad investment of time and money.
