Time to bag the old Caddy!!
Hey guys. I know this is a little off of the normal truck talk. I've decided to bag my 70 coupe de ville. What bags would you reccomend 2600, 2800, or what would be best for this application? I have little to no air suspension experience, so any and all help would be much appreciated. I'm not looking for a super fast setup to dance the car with, just a simple fbss setup that doesn't take forever to raise and lower. What kit or components would you reccomend?
TIA

Definitely use the 2600 (7") bags. It will ride great with these. Thats what I used on my bro's 68.

Re: Time to bag the old Caddy!!
We usually use a 5.5" upper cup. 3" tall works great.

Re: Time to bag the old Caddy!!
The way I did it was cut the upper spring mount out and slide the entire cup up through the hole. Then I tacked it where I could from underneath. Then I fully welded it in from the top.
