How many of you are running jeep rear springs in your static drop, and from what model....?

Nailz · 01-07-2010, 02:45 AM

@ 5.5/7
CPP Grand Slam with notch

Eagletucky · 01-07-2010, 12:32 PM

Heres mine...

2 1/2" dropped spindles with 1 and 1/4 coils cut off of the front.

Jeep springs with 2" blocks in the back.

I'm currently looking for a suburban chassis to stuff all this into. Wish me luck!

spr85gmc · 01-07-2010, 12:50 PM

Eagletucky · 01-07-2010, 01:32 PM

I need to find out what stock height is on our trucks. Could someone (or maybe a few of you to get an average) with stock suspension measure from the center of your wheel to the lip of the fenders front and rear. I bought my truck lowered and need to redo the suspension but I want to return to the same stance so I need to know how much it’s lowered.

chopper john · 01-22-2010, 03:09 AM

i cut two coils off the front and took off the bump stop. in the rear its step notched ,two inch blocks and cut spring, i know it sounds crazy but a few guys told me on hear jeep springs and cut . i had g body springs i cut them in half and tryed them on , then cut another half a turn. so i have it bolted to the trailing arm with like a turn and a half total. not my idea but i seams to work good (smooth)

rain_man · 01-23-2010, 12:00 AM

Mine is torsion bars...

2.5 inch drop spindles in front and 5"drop coils in rear. that's all.. no frame cutting or anything...

MXmaniac · 01-23-2010, 03:24 PM

Front - Lower control arms stepped 1-1/2" + 3" CPP drop springs.

Rear - Manual-fill air-bags(Airlift D6000s with schraeder valves) and homemade 2" c-notch.

oldblue1968chevy · 06-01-2010, 10:26 AM

im running jeep coils with no bed right now, it rides about the same (still, no bed) id say the haulability is not the same because the jeep coils spring diameter is smaller i'll letcha know when i get my bed on ima put an ATV back there and see how it squats)

That looks great! One question: are you sure those are 17" wheels? They look like 15's from here. If they are 17's where did you get the 17" stamped steel wheels?

halfcockedcustoms · 08-18-2010, 11:27 PM

any more?

Psykosteven · 08-19-2010, 03:32 PM

My '65: ECE rear drop kit with one inch block, belltech 3" drop spindles and 2" drop springs in front with one coil cut out.
