His is a square and I think most guys use the plates. I plan on cutting the entire spring pocket out and using a universal bag mount, so I can run re8's.

be gotam sure to cut enough out..i thought i "mauled" my spring cups but when the re8s broke in they stretched enough to rub the pocket 2 inches above the top of the bag....so if your planning on stepping up alter, might as well cut it big while your in there. truck looks a lot better mr bill

Flat plates and recess the lower Aarm if you plan on running big wheels.

Actually I am going to wait till i get further along to decide how I do it. I didn't think you could get an re8 to fit. Even with recessing it in the lower.
