I'm pretty sure that you'd need a 2" cup on the bottom because the bag can't sit inside the pocket because it would rub. As for the 2" closer, it won't do anything for you unless your static.
The drop pockets on the arm are gonna rub on everything, either run the stock arms or get some ART's.

i modded some for my truck, an old c10, and they work well. i put the plate on the bottom of the control arm in stead of the top, to get it lower to the ground, after i cut out the spring pocket the control arms came with. the bag bolts straight to the plate, no cup. ill post pics of them when i can take them.

Yea i havent decided to get some djms or set for bags
If you get the DJM's be prepared to mod the sway bar mount too, the angles are rediculous.

how do u mean mod the sway bar mount. how much. what about the option of taking it off, good or bad idea.
I had the 2" arms on the wifes static drop and the sway bar mounts hit the spring pocket and the angles no matter what length end link I used sucked.

i have 225/75/15's on the truck with modded djm lca for bags, djm 2 in spindle, slam bag 72 and stock uca with mog ball joints,
built my own upper bag cups, had to angle cut them to push the bag out from the frame, 3 on the inside and 2.75 on the outter edge
the lca don't bind even with 235's on it
the uca bind with 235's on the truck
