1-the cupping of the lowers seems to have brought it down quite a bit from your first attempt...how much do you think it helped lower it? and kind of curious as to why it helped since the cup doesn't seem to put the bag that much lower?
2-what size/type of shocks are you running on front and rear?
3-where are you mounting the rear shocks?

well i was using the suicidedoors cups on the bottom and they just sit down in the spring pocket to give the bag somthing flat to sit on..it was just too tall and the bag would fully compress (compressed height of 3 inches on my bags) way before it would go all the way down... and also when i raised it all the way up the bag was only like half way inflated before the upper controll arm would hit on the crossmember.. i think at the deepest point on my lower control arms since i modified them is 2 1/2 inches.. and before with the suicide doors cups the bag would sit above the control arm just a bit.. so i basically lowered the bag almost 3 inches which was the perfect amount to make it fit right
just noticed i never got a good pic of the shock mounts.. u can see them in this pic... still havent made some shock relocaters for the front yet... o btw they are just stock monroe shocks.. gonna upgrade later
