How much of the cup can you cut?

How much of the lower cup on the front bags can you cut?? How much more will that give me??

I know without the dropmember our trucks will only go so far.

B I cut off about 1" off of mine and everything works good. But one thing you will have to look at is your inners make sure the tire will not hit them..

Re: How much of the cup can you cut?

5150... the blazer is looking Bad A$$.
Gringoloco told me he had cut his cups down to a total height of 1-5/8" tall.
Could you also give me your wheel and tire specs, (including backspacing) They look perfect. I assume nothing is rubbing?

I did one and I cut them down until it laid the crossmember. I think they where an inch or so tall.
