drill three holes in the frame and bolt in as you would a coil spring ... no cups needed.

I'm mounting my rear bags straight to the arm and frame. The bags I have are only 6", so I'm a little worried they might be too low (crazy, I know). I have a cup for the rear that I can use if I feel it's too low.

Here's a pic from 67Fleet's build to give you an idea.

thats how i am going to do it the only gave me axel mounts with mine dont know why i would use them . But i bought them from street beat

[pharcyde05]

sell the axel mounts on ebay they probley just come with the street beat kit most trucks need them cause they dont have link bars to mount them too

I think 6" is the diameter, not the actual height of the bag. Are you using Slam bags or stones? I'm running Slam Specialties RE7 bags which are great because they have an internal bumpstop in them so they don't overcompress all the time.
Franky, it's pretty straightforward for the holes. I used a piece of paper as a template and traced the holes on the bag and then marked where I needed to drill in the frame. The mounting holes are small and a piece of cake. The 1" hole for the fitting was a total bish though. That was the hardest part of the install out back for me. Wish I had a plasma cutter......
