im looking for some help/ advice for a bag setup on laying down an 82 cutlass, i have the airbag kit already but no tube control arms. any advice would be most appreciated, thanks in advanced
 
ok well i thoughti would be more specific maybe i can get a response then. i heard that i can mount lower and upper control arms from an s-10, what year or type of arms can get them from and do they just bolt straight on? what kind of brackets can i put on the rear axle and wheres the best place to put them on?
 
With my set up ( just bags and cups)my front crossmember lays about 2 inches from the ground. I'm also running 17 inch tires, a smaller wheel tire combo will get you lower. I BELIEVE You can use s-10 drop spindles with gbody control arms. Those are all you'll really need. As for the rear i used my stock control arms. I don't know if ajustable rear arms will help. C-notching a g body is a ton of work, almost not worth it, IMO. With the rear all you have to do is just bolt the cups to the bag, and set them in there on the axle perches. Also check out layitlow.com. hope helps that
 
x2 for layitlow them lo-lo boys will get you right....go over that way and ask
 
u can use s10 truck and blazer controll arms for the front, for the front mine has the cups top and bottom, and in the rear use the mounts for an s10 rear end, u have to weld them on u can use the ones that just sit on the exsisting mount for ur springs but id rather have the added support from the weld, layit low can help alot, but if u have questions just lmk and ill try to help you out
 
fbirides.com has s10 tube control arms as well as suicidedoors.com that should lay it out on 20s with out spindles and if you can fit 22s with drop spindles.
you can also lay it out on stock control arms you just have to trim a little more out of your upper spring pockets
