No cups. Just a top plate to mount the bags. Bags sit loose on the lower control arm. And I've got 3" spindles.

I think the gas tank and control arms/crossmember would touch the ground if I wasn't running such tall tires. I'm running a 255/45/20 on the front and a 265/50/20 on the back. I think I have about an inch in the front and about 1/2 an inch to the gas tank.
