i am going to be picking up a 66 sedan deville that i want to bag.it is already lowered with what i assume is cut/heated coils. i am going to be using the smcs and viairs from my truck i am bd'ing that won't see the road this summer. i have a couple of questions though... one is what size bags will fit? i would like to use 2600s for ride and lift. the other thing is bag cups. i will make them with SD plates. but what heights of the top and bottom cups did you guys use?

64 is pretty much the same, which is what i have. you can use 2600lbs bags on it no prob. it'll take some cutting up front to get them fit well, but the rear is simple. some of them have the wishbone out back, put a notch on the wishbone 2-3" is good and a 3" notch on the frame outback and you'll be golden. the cups should be the same size as on a caprice, but shorten the cups on the bottom down to about an inch high. tops should be about 3 inches, and do that to both front and rear. you may end up pulling the top cups back out and shortening them a bit too, but you won't actually know until you see how much lift you'll need (tire wheel combination etc). if you run out of travel in the front, then you'll have to start looking into relocating the balljoints. but, you should be just fine on a normal size wheel tire combo.

thanks for the help, your 64 is pretty rad. i ended up not getting the deville because of some rust in the quarters and trunk. but i did get a 62 lincoln continental. i hope in the not to distant future to get a 61-66 coupe deville.
