1st, has anyone cut the cups for airbags on the front suspension, if so how much without the airbag rubbing on the lower control arm when deflated, or low psi.

2nd, what front brake lines are longer and will bolt up to my 71-72 front disc setup? 73-87?

it sits higher with the bag so im not happy, need drop spindles but still want it lower.

Thanks guys.

Re: Quick Queston

back when I had cups, I cut them down to 1.5 inches and I did a little grinding around the inside edges of the arm where the bag may touch. I had slam RE-7's and aired out they barely rubbed. As for brake lines I'm running braided stainless from inlinetube for a 72' with no problems.

Re: Quick Queston

I'm running a stock set off a 74' with a flat plate bolted across the top for the bag to sit on. I also have a dropmember with 2.5 inch spindles so it sits way low.
