"... The SD cups have to be cut down to 1.5". I have 29" tires with 1.5" cups (soon to be tube arms...) and my arms do not touch the ground. So if I had not cut my cups I would be several inches higher in both ride height and full drop"

i would say hes pretty qualified..

I'm sure your right. I'll guess he has a lot more experience and knowledge on the subject than Nate does.

It really depends on your tire height, and what you want your ride height to be.

et tu N2?

Considering the fact that tubular arms move the bag lower on the arms than is even achievable with cut cups in stock arms I don't get the argument against cutting cups. As long as they are cut to a height where the bags don't rub (which differs with the years of the arms). Yes, the tubular arms correct ball joint angle, but they have a greater need for this due to the more severe angles afforded by the adjusted bag position.

If you were to debate which to do first; drop-spindles or cut cups, I could see the argument for spindles first, but if you will do both eventually then the order doesn't really matter.
