Air Bag cup height?
I have SD lower bag cups for my suburban and would like to get them cut down before I have them coated but I cannot remember what they can be cut down to. They are right at 2.5 inches tall out of the box.

Most cut them to 1-5/8" or 1-3/4".
But,... I've never done it myself.

Re: Air Bag cup height?
for me, more drop. I know the cups I bought could be cut down for more drop because they're made with a little extra on them. Some make them shorter, some taller.

Re: Air Bag cup height?
Dont guess or hope the info is correct. Always mock things up & measure w/your parts.
