    i didnt use a kit man they are all coil cups already just get s10 cups for the front and weld a flat plate on the axle to bolt the rears up but if you are trying to get it to lay frame you gotta do alot of cutting def gotta run an engine compressor because those big blocks are heavy good luck

    Yep, he can sell you everything you need in one fell swoop for a good price. Though there is not a '65 Caddy kit. You're gonna have to do some fabrication.

    Air ride has an early caddy kit that kicks ***! Spendy, but worth every penny! A buddy of mine put it on his 65, I on the other hand, went for the budget off brand kit cuz it was cheaper, and it ****ed *** on my 67 calais slow as hell, and would barley pick up the front end.

    Don't waste your $ on a kit from ART yes nice but there are some components that you can get beter for the $. I have bagged at least a dozen Cads. All you will ned is upper cups, some t******* of the lower spring perch 4 cirsle plates. Use nothing but Slam XS bags in the front. It is very hard to fit a shock in the front and the 6 ply bag gives quite a bit of dampning. I make a plate for the ashtray slide it open and your switches are inb there, Gauges I hid in the glove box, Compressors and tan fit nicley on the sides of the trunck. Pm me if you need more details

    I agree slams are the only way to go! They make one tough bag. On my 65 fleetwood I ran 6in. bags in the front, and 7in. bags in the back. You also might try http://www.kplinks.com/home.php
