Cutting 1" from bottom bag cup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, so I did it. I cut 1" from the bottom bag cup, and it appears to have dropped it about 2". I forgot to measure it before I took it apart, and had them cut. Here are some before and after pics.

Looks great. Those wheels really fill the wheel well nicely. The offset looks perfect too. I'm guessing they are 20's.

Yep, 20 x 8.5 Boss 312's. Thanks!!

what are you running for LCA's? ie do your bags rub with this much cut?

I am using the stock lower control arms, but I had to cut the bump stop bracket back away from the bag about 1" or so. The best thing to do would be to totally remove the bump stop bracket, but it is also a stop for turning the wheel from lock to lock. So I still have mine in there, I just test fit and trimmed it a few times. The bags slightly touch the LCA when it is aired out. I cant post a pic because the truck is in winter storage about 100 miles away from me.
