91 caprice rear

today i went over and helped a buddy of mine bag the rear end of his 91 caprice. he used over the axle brackets, slame re7 bags and as of right now he has a 2" upper cup which he will cut down to 1" to get a little lower, the frame isnt notched right now but when he had drop coils put in the car sat lower than with the bags being in. what does he need to do in order to atleast lay the frame on the axle?

bump..........

cut tha beaotch up and knotch it


that should work

Put the rear frame on jack stands. After it is tsabalized put a jack under the rear end then let the air out of the bags. Jack it up until it stops, then check to see what is stopping it.

Make sure the car is stabalized so you do not die from the car falling on you. Do not jack it up so much that it lifts off of the jack stands. Give the car a slight push to make sure it is safe before getting under it. If it moves at all before pusing it to one side please move your jack stands so it is stable.

someone else has to know the jack stand thing isnt an option right now for them so anyone with a caprice know what the problem might be???????????????????????

you need to see what is stopping it. Also, like you mentioned before...check the lower cup,as well as the uppers..they both may be able to be shortened. But, to really get an idea, you're gonna have to be completely under the car to see exactly what you're working with.

the only way i know is to notch it also the lower trailing arms dont allow for the frame to lay out is it currently laing on the trailing arm when the air is out?

bro there is a few thangs that is stoping it the shocks maybe also the drive shaft there is a cross member above the drive shaft that has to be cut out take the up cup out and a one inch cup on the bottum will be fine mount the bag to the top of the spring pocket then you should be fine

the bag mounts are too big upper and lower
