If I'm Going To Bag The Front On My 69. Does Anyone Know What Size Cups I Need To Make? Thanks,vinnie

We talked the other night on the phone about the exhaust(Any Luck?)... For the front, most people use a "plate" on the top & either no cup or about a 1 1/2" cup on the bottom...

Here's a link to the front brackets at Suicide Doors... Pic below...

Welcome aboard! We need pics of your truck(s)...

Joe,

you can run NO CUP? will that not hurt the bags?

(I have tall cups in mine already is why I ask)

bagged91 · 04-12-2007, 07:33 PM

I've heard of guy's using no lower cup(ghettocrewzer for one), just bolting bag into lower A arm. I personally wouldn't try it, I had to replace a bag on the road before, not fun... They say that the arm is smooth enough that it won't affect the bag...

How short of a cup can you run, with no problems ?

*Shane* · 04-12-2007, 09:26 PM

please, for your safety and anyone else that may be on the road the same time as you are, use the lower cups.

I would say an inch, but 67Fleet cut his down further without issue. If you look at how deep the hole is, I think as long as the cup sits all the way in, you're fine.

I have the Suicide Doors cups and I could cut about 2" off based on how high the cup sticks up. But looking at the site, it looks like they are a lot shorter now, so you might not want/need to cut them any more.

These look a lot shorter than mine:

I try it and didn't like the way the bags looked, they looked like they were going to tear. But i have seen people do it.

3/4" is the max I would cut it down to. That's what mine are at. It's the perfect height to get the cup to seat in the LCA without any rubbage.

1lowdiesel · 04-13-2007, 04:14 PM

yea you could do 3/4 on the bottom and a cup in the top instead of the plate.

VINNIE · 04-16-2007, 12:47 AM

I Did'nt Even Think About Putting A Plate On Top And Cup On Bottom. I Was Use To Doing It The Other Way Around.
How Low Are You Guys? Spindels? Thanks
