need help with baggin a 1972 monte carlo

[big green]

Does neone know of a kit, or a kit i could put together to bag this? And also i would like some opinions on how u would go about doing this.

[B.J.]

Correct me if I' m wrong but the ' 72 Monte is considered an A-Body. Anything listed for the GM A-Bodies will work - CoolRide, ShockWaves, Strongarms.

Personally I would do the ShockWave DA' s/StrongArms up front, the CoolRide/StrongArms out back with the adjustable shock upgrade and either the ARC4000e or the ARC4700e with the remotes.

Yea i think we are gonna end up goin with the coolride #3 kit, and the guagemag shock kit which comes with the cups and the shocks with relocator mounts. And another ? for you, do u know if i need drop spindles or will the stock ones work?

[B.J.]

Sorry, but I' m not familiar with the cups that Gauge Mag. sells for the A-Bodies. I can tell you that our cups are built to drop the car 2" at ride height, and I' d imagine that Gauge' s are similar. The decision on the drop spindles is up to you, and how low you want the car to sit. Don' t forget to take wheel/tire size in account when figuring that out.

Well, i think that we are gonna use 20' s which is gonna kinda be a bitch as far as tubbing i think. and another thing, is it neccisary to notch the frame?

[B.J.]

Wether or not you have to notch the sub-frame/floorpan is realtive to:
1) How low of ride height you are looking for.
2) How low you want to go when the system is deflated.

Keep in mind that it is usually necessary to have about 3" of upward axle travel at ride height to have a civilized ride quality.
