i took about 2 or so inches off of them i really cant remember been a lil while since i have done it i basically set the bag on the control arm where i wanted them to be mounted and measured frpm the frame to the bolts on the top of the bags, simple as that.
could always set ur bag like jake said, and just place the bar on the top of the frame, just put a tack on it where u want it, mark it, bend it off and cut it there. or just hold it and mark it.
what bout the bottom braket did u just drill a hole through it and bolt the upper cup to it and then welt it did u have to cut ne off that that lower piece????
I didnt use the piece that they sent in the kit for the botton i used a 1/4 inch round bag plate and plasma cut two access holes in the bottom of the lower control arm to put the bolts through
