3/5 Drop on the 65
 

Installed the CPP 3/5 Drop springs and shocks on Saturday. Everything came apart and went back together smoothly. My driveshaft is hitting the cross-member now so I'll have to clearance that. Anyone have pics of their factory clearanced cross-members?

Never mind I took a look this afternoon and this bracket was still riveted in place. Cut the rivets out and good to go.

I imagine its for a carrier bearing but not sure.

Re: 3/5 Drop on the 65
 

Yes for carrier. I just pulled mine out last week. I took the rivets out to make it removable.

Yup that is a carrier bearing mount. What did you use in the back for springs? Did you measure it before and after? I am planning the drop on my suburban and with it being about 300 pounds heavier in the back verses a truck was wondering how much extra it dropped verses what the springs were rated for.

Unfortunately I didn't measure how much it dropped. Right now with no one in the truck the back is 3/8" higher than the front measuring off the bumpers and measuring off the body line. I used CPP's 3/5 drop spring and shock kit so the rears got a 5" drop spring.

Actually that's the front 3" drop spring

lownslw64 thanks man I appreciate it. Someday ill get it on bags but for now, it looks better than stock and I'll rock it for the summer.

If those are new springs, it will settle some as it gets driven.

Copy that. If it starts to sag butt too much I'll have to cut a coil from the front. Or add a drop spindle.
