Hey im new to the forum and i hope it will help. I am planning on bagging my 64 thunderbird using your bags. Should i keep the stock tire specs or go 20' s? whitch is easier? How much fabrication will be required? also what should i use shock wise? how much travel should I get? I want fbss, is that worth it?
Thanks

Dave,
You definitely want go 4 way with that car, it will handle better and have better ride quality. The Shockwaves up front will give you about 4" of total travel. I' m not sure what issues will arise with the 20s but I would guess a least some mods of the fender wells. The kit will lower the car about 5-6 inches lower than stock, if you know the height and width of the 20s try measuring it up.

thanks for the info! I have decided to stay with the stock size rims and tires. Is the kit pretty much bolt on or will there have to be a lot of modifications? and also what do you recommend as replacement shocks for that particular car?
Thanks
Dave

The whole kit is completely bolt-on, but you might have to do a little trimming to the outside of the spring pocket up front for clearnace of the Shockwave. The Shockwave actually has the shock inside the airbag and the rear comes with new shocks as well.
