Modified A-Arms For G-Body

Has anyone modified their a-arms for either a s-10 or g-body frame? I have 2600 firestone bags that I will be installing in all four corners. Pictures would be helpful and what size upper airbag cup did you use. Please post pictures if at all possible.

Re: Modified A-Arms For G-Body

You dont need to do anything to the upper arms.Your upper bag cup sits in the frame just like the OEM spring did.Cant remember how tall my upper cups are off hand but i have 2500's in an had to do a little trimming off the frame.Depending how tall your upper cup is will determine how much you'll need to cut.

You can use a cups for the bottom also.So guys have plated the lowers to avoid cups

I'm on thsi site allot.Just search bagged g-bodys
