Just measure for how much lower you want it & cut your cups the same

If it were me, I would cut them for level & if you cut a little too much out you'll have some rake

P.S. I've never done this, but when I do this would be the way I'd do it

Oh & make sure you're aired out and not resting on any stops

The key is make sure there is enough in the pocket. If that's not low enough, then you will need to look for options.
