Elcamino springs
 
I heard that elcamino springs would work to lower the rear on my 72 Anybody used them ,how much will they lower it and what years will work Thanks

i dont remember how much it lowers the rear but they do work. i think its the elcaminos around 70 that have the springs you need. i also think the springs from the front work too. it lowers it alot from what i hear.

I posted this same question on here about 68-72 chevelle springs. The best I could come up with was it would lower the rear about 4 inches. not sure on the front...

Is that your truck? what else has been done tho the front suspension and are there any tire clearance issues?

highboy_04 04-23-2004 12:51 AM

its not my truck it belongs to a board member 2low72

She has drop spindles and the caprice springs. tires are 205/70/15 and they don't rub at all. ofcourse my inner wheel wells are cut out. she rides really smooth, but air bags are needed. the roads in abilene suck.

GMC JUNKIE TOO 04-28-2004 02:22 AM

Could you measure from the ground to the top of the wheelwell for me? I am wondering how it compares to my truck I habe 2'' coils and 2.5'' spindles but I wand to go lower and dont want to use bags. And how much is it lowerd in the back? I really like that stance.

2low72 04-28-2004 02:57 AM

yeah no problem i'll do it tomorrow and get back to ya

2low72 04-28-2004 04:25 PM

GMC JUNKIE TOO, The front from the ground to the center of the wheel well is 2 ft. and the back is 2ft 1 in. the back has leaf springs. they are flipped. thats all i know. the guy i bought it from lowered it, and thats all he told me.

I was wondering, does it have a two piece drive shaft? If it does, does it vibrate?

2low72 04-29-2004 01:37 AM

yeah it's a two piece and no it doesn't.not sure why because i thought it would .
