Well, I should have had the guy that cupped them use larger pipe. I couldn't get comfortable with the Airlift D2600 bags with the pipe we used. They were just too close for comfort. I borrowed some SS 8" bags and they fit without any problems and it rides fine in my opinion. But yes - it wouldn't have been low enough without cupping.

How does it ride with 2500s? I was thinking of a set of those over the SS. The SS I have in I borrowed from a friend and they are showing their age and I need to get some new ones.
