Re: air bag it

My rig has uncut Suicide Doors cups in the front and a 3" cup in the rear. I also have 2.5" drop spindles, but here is a shot of it with no air:



I am running Slam Specialties bags and they have internal bump stops. They compress to 2.5", other bags will compress more.

<edit> I have not notched my frame and it sits on the stock bump stops in the back. I will drive at about half way up.
