C20 5" Rear Lowering Coils Springs that ship to Canada?
Hello, I am looking to purchase C20 (3/4 Ton Heavy Duty) 5" rear lowering coil springs for my 1970 Chevrolet C10. I looked at some sites and ultimately decided on purchasing a set from GMC Pauls Truck Parts, but found out they only ship to the US. I am wondering if anyone knows of any that ship internationally, specifically to Canada?
Any help is appreciated, thanks! |

Do you live close to the border?
There are several businesses that provide shipping drop off locations that you can access for your parts with just a little cross border trip. |

Unfortunately I don't live close to the border, but I will keep that in mind in case I know someone that is driving to the US already.

Re: C20 5" Rear Lowering Coils Springs that ship to Canada?
i have a place in Calais,Maine i ship stuff to all the time and when enough stuff piles,i just drive to Maine and get it but there is a broker from the Canadian side,goes over to that business in Maine everyday,picks stuff up,does the paperwork,brings it over the border and then ships it to the customer in Canada and then you don't go get it yourself.of course it costs money but so does driving to the border.i didn't do it but almost used that service a while ago,while the Canada/US border was closed and i had stuff sitting there on the Maine side of the line that i couldn't go get.where ever you are,i'm sure you could find a likewise situation near you?

Thanks for that Canadian vendor, I did not know about them. Unfortunately they only have factory height C20 rear coil springs.
I will also look into a broker that can pick up parcels in the US and then ship them the rest of the way in Canada. Thanks everyone for the replies. |

Whatever the closest border crossing you is,will have border brokers. It shouldn't be hard to find one that offers that freight forwarding service,then once your parts are on the CDN side,they just use a local courier to get it to you.the other option is,send the parts to a friend on the US side,then they can mail them or UPS them to you.i am fortunate to have a couple great friends in the States who do that for me,thanks Dan,Jeff.using a broker at the border,is in fact,how I got my truck home.i couldn't go get it,shipped it to Calais, Maine.the broker at the border did the paper work and got it to the CDN side.then home from there was a piece of cake.always a way.take care.

Re: C20 5" Rear Lowering Coils Springs that ship to Canada?
Are you wanting to keep the C20 load rating? I lowered my 68 C20 rear 4" but I used 1/2 ton coils. They fit the same and I bought my kit from Scotts Super Trucks in Penhold AB.
Scott is good to deal with and I would recommend giving him a call. He does not respond as well to email or online. I had searched for C20 lowering coils and at the time (6 years ago) Performanceonline.com did sell them but did not ship to my remote location. I see they list front lowering C20 coils but not rears. Might be worth contacting them too.

I would bet C10 Burb coils would be similar in capacity.

I have brand new shocks so if I need to replace them to lower it a couple inches that would be a bummer so I am wondering if it is strictly speaking, necessary.

Not sure if they are necessary but I bought shorter shocks from Scott’s.
I did not change the panhard bar.
