$225 Attitude Adjustment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ram-Man · 10-15-2008, 08:04 PM

I thought I would share my 3/5 coil spring drop from CPP. I picked it up on ebay for $225 shipped to my door 3" front drop and 5" rear drop with bolts and retainer cups. I know I may need to do some other additions to the suspension to make it more road friendly but this is a good start. I have 3 different size tires on it right now so it sits a little funky but pretty level. This is part of my 69 GMC budget build.

You may want to add ECE's shock kit with the shock relocater and adjustable panard bar. It'll make your truck handle sweet.

That would cost more than I paid for the truck. I dont think it will fit into the budget category of this beast. I'm saving all the goodies for my frame off project I have going.

That's what happens when you are an electrician.
