I have been talking about shortening the cups on the bottom of the front air bags for a couple of years now. So since the WMB was OOC I pulled the cups off and chucked them up in my lathe. I used the lathe to make a small groove around the bottom of the cup 1/2" from the bottom. Once marked I used a Porta bandsaw to cut the cup off. I then used the lathe to true up the cut surface so it will sit flat. Getting the cups out was a bit like one of those puzzles made of wire you have to get apart. But after shortening they just dropped in.
The whole idea behind shortening the cups is to have a higher pressure in the bags at ride height. Previously the trucks best ride quality would put the front end too high. I may have to remove another 1/2" or so but I feel better sneaking up on the perfect combination a little bit at a time.
