pick up a truckin magazine, use the same method used on an s10, you can make some brackets and mount them on the rear side of the lower control arm and on the frame. You may even be able to buy them from a magazine. This is also the same method used in alot of hot rods, but the s10 has the same setup as your Monte Carlo. My first car was a 1981 Monte Carlo when I was in high school. I love that car !

Thanks for the heads up jco, i already have a subscription to mini truckin,lowrider,and sports truck
mag. don't mean to burst your bubble there i've been told by a number of shops about those suspensions
having the same applicatoins like the tube arms,2" drop spindles, ect. My concern is the brake line. Dont want the shock to have too much of a 45 degree and loose performance.Any chance you can tell me a shock size? I have two different sets of bags and cups -contitech 2500's 6" diameter 8" lift,contitech 2600's 7" diamter 8-9 lift and a set of top 3" cups &
4" cups both bottoms are 2"cups i was told a 9" shock
collasped and 14" extended would do. any more advise would greatly be appreciated.
