so my dads been eying my car and decided to upgrade from his 22's on his bubble caprice to 26's he wants a stance kinda like prosper1ne's box caprice i no its a diff car but u get the idea bout the tire to fender space so we called up ucl and they told me they got a new 12" kit thats not on the site its the regular 7in in the front plus the lift spindle and "special" 12" cups in the back wit shock relocation brackets so i told him we only wanted about a 8-9" inch and he recommended the spindle and a 3 or 4" cup in the front plus the a' arms and all plus a custom 9 or 9.5 cup for the back sounds good right? but the thing i think that 9" cup will max out his back air shocks is there a taller air shock out there? or will he need custom shock brackets?

Just get the trailing arms for the back...u dont need a-arms for the front...ur factories will do...and use a 2in cup max in the front as far as alignment goes...because a 1500 spindle opens up wider than ur stock spindle so u can run a 2in cup and be fine...1 1/2in will do a lil better as far as ride quality!!
