Bagged Caddy.....

I have a 1983 Cadillac, and im going to be bagging it soon. Has any one done a car like this? I know what bag kit i am going to buy, but what kind of brackets am i going to need? Do i have to fabricate my own, or are there some pre-made brackets that i can get?

I HAVE STRUT BAGS IN THE FRONT AND JUST NORMAL BAGS IN THE REAR

what kind of caddi?

Its a 1983 sedan Deville. It has springs all around.

if its rear wheel drive you can use caprice frts and lowers

it's an 83. strut bags would do about 0 good.

The car is simple to bag. You just need upper and lower cups for front and rear. you'll have to do some trimming, but other than that, it's a straight on deal. word of advise, you can buy cups, or make your own, but the lower cup should only be about an inch tall, otherwise you won't lay out.

I know man.... i was just telling him how mine was done dude

if i'm not mistaken the suspension on a caddy like that can take a set of s-10 cups and some trimming/replating to the lower control arm for more clearance in the front. the rear you can go with a cup that bolts to the top spring perch and some over axle bag mounts. this is a really basic setup but should be a reliable one. we did the same to my buddies cutlass before he decided to body drop it and it worked awesome (cutlass has very similar suspension). good luck

just get a set of cups for the front, the lower cup should be about 3/4 to 1/2 inch depending on the setup or else it wont lay, the rear can use cups as well, let me know if you need any other questions answered.
