5" Rear drop springs from Ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

late68 · 04-28-2011, 09:14 PM

Just got these in today. Took me about 20 min. to put em' on after I unboxed them. Not a bad item very nice and come powdercoated. And really not bad for $80.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-28-2011, 09:21 PM

Are they weak? (can you jump on the frame and they flex?) I guess you dont have the bed on yet so ya cant tell..

Who makes them? Thats a really good price..

late68 · 04-28-2011, 09:27 PM

I don't have a manufac. for them. They are pretty strong. I jumped on the frame a little bit after I put them on. But i also dont have my shocks on yet either.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-28-2011, 09:31 PM

They say CCP on the spring I think....or am I seeing things..

late68 · 04-28-2011, 09:46 PM

Looks like CPP.

late68 · 04-28-2011, 09:47 PM

Yea that is the same part # on the spring. I got these for $80 shipped to my door via Fedex. Thought it was a hell of a deal.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-29-2011, 10:34 AM

Yeah!!

**leddzepp** · 04-29-2011, 10:57 AM

Smokin deal. Same deal I got on ebay. Also got their adjustable panhard bar for $40

OJ1988 · 04-29-2011, 12:03 PM

Yep, got a set off eBay and some other parts from them on eBay as well.

Are these the springs you bought? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-...item27bae0cc6e I don't see the adjustable panhard bar available from this seller.

**leddzepp** · 05-11-2011, 12:14 PM

panhard bar was on special, i think they sold out

Well I got my springs on the way at least. I couldn't hold out for 3 more days so I hit the "Buy it now" button and paid the extra $9... Just need an adjustable panhard bar now to square things up.

late68 · 05-11-2011, 05:38 PM

I know its so hard to wait the full auction time. It's just like screw it i will pay the extra $9 bucks.....haha.

71stub · 05-19-2011, 08:53 AM

I put mine in last night. It's a half ton shortbed. I measured before and after. It came down a hair over 6 inches with about 10 gallons of fuel in the fuel cell. Seems to ride fine. Maybe a little soft. It's pretty close to the bump stops right now. I'll try and get some pics when I'm not driving the wheels off it!

67chevemall · 05-19-2011, 10:47 AM

Ya you will have to saw the bump stops down to an inch....
Good deal...post a pic of the panhard bar if you can!

usmcchevy · 05-19-2011, 12:49 PM

$40 track bar.

sneaky · 05-19-2011, 01:34 PM

damn good deal...i just got these for the rear, the front 3" drop coils with shocks and the tracking bar...hope to install this weekend. do you think the rears will be difficult to do with the bed on? thanks, scott.

Not at all. I installed my c-notch with the bed on too.

71stub · 05-19-2011, 01:39 PM

I put mine in with the bed on last night. Just jacked it up and pulled the wheels. Took about a half hour and part of that is because I had to heat the threads in the one cup with a torch to "assist" it in coming apart. Thanks for the link USMCCHEVY!

71stub · 05-20-2011, 01:46 PM

My stock track bar sits just a little bit uphill. It went just past level. I couldn't get a good picture because my fuel cell blocks most of the view. I'm going to measure how square the axle sits in there this weekend and determine what I will do for a track bar but will most likely buy the adjustable one off of eBay.

oldblue1968chevy · 05-20-2011, 05:18 PM

I think 5" drop requires a super trac bar
