    Unfortunately your front end is different than mine. Sorry wish I could help you out.

    You'll need to search deeper here on the HAMB, I've looked over lots of in-depth posts on different ways to bag the stock front end. It's not always the best platform to start with depending on what it is you want for drop. If you want to lay frame, Gambino rear kit is tops in my book, as for the front, camaro clip or new stub clip like Fatmans.

    I installed the ride tech cool ride set up trimmed the top cup an inch and a half grinded out the spring pocket to clear the bag and welded eighth inch plate to the lower and mounted the bag to that took a couple hours and set the car about three inches from the ground but I still don t have the dropped uprights.

    ^^^ what he said.

    You can make your own cups. They make "cup kits" but some 4" round pipe/tube and some bag plates would probably be cheaper.

    Not sure how shoebox front suspension is set up but you can try stepping your lower arms to avoid buying drop spindles if you're on a budget.
     
  14. Well it's not a shoebox but i'm bagging my plymouth and for the front i ordered this.

    Just cut it to the length you need and weld on the plate. Try searching on here too there's gotta be a bunch of threads on it.
