ha, thats awesome i didnt notice. ok so the best way is to do what sic68 said and cut off the cup and build a minitruck style mount. (flat plate with gussets) however you can easily build some cup brackets if you want. I dont know what kind of control arms you have so i cant really give you any measurement but for the top take a 5 or 6" inch pipe (you'll have to measure the inner width its been a long time so i dont exactly remember) cut it to your desired length probably the 4 or 5" range. make a round circle plate for the top of the bag. (if you dont want to make this stuff you can order the plates and stuff from suicidedoors.com and weld em together yourself) but the circle needs to be off center a little cause fords are dumb. so youre going to bolt the bag to the plate and set the pipe you cut on top and hold em up in the spring cup. determin how far offset the plate needs to be so the bag doesnt touch the frame and mark it. UNBOLT THE BAG from the plate! and weld the two together on your mark. as for the bottom either get lower c-arms and bolt the bag to them or for factory c-arms i guess you would have to make another cup like the top. even though im cool and i have cups you really should just do it the other way and cut off your cups and make a bracket. ( i just woke up so this probably doesnt make sense lol. )

yep just cut the upper spring perch off and do the same as above then either plate your lower c arms or i thought someplace sells lower cups.

only after the body drop, for some reason after the B/D every thing needed some tweeking to get the wheel to go in the fender, I dont know why??? but befor when it was just bagged that set up worked perfect, and should on any stock f150 front clip.........
