Need help identifying drop springs in rear of my truck
Hey guys I need some help identifying the springs that were already installed in the rear of my truck. The truck is already dropped but the rest is slightly lower than the front and it drives me crazy so I need to raise the rear about an inch or so. Does anyone have any idea what drop or which springs were used? Pictures attached.

Appear to be the max drop.
5" or 6" depending on where they came from. My opinion,... leave the rear and drop the front!

Re: Need help identifying drop springs in rear of my truck
I had a similar setup when I bought my truck. The PO had put a CPP "kit" on the truck and it rode like complete crap. The rear axle was on the bump stops for intents and purposes. It had 5 inch CPP drop springs and no c-notch in the frame for the axle to move. Lolife99 is probably correct about them being 5 or 6 inch. My rear springs looked similar. In my opinion CPP's spring rate is way too soft and made my 5 inch springs ride more like 6 inch springs or more. I have since put 4 inch ECE springs and KYB shocks in the back. The difference in ride quality is night and day.

Re: Need help identifying drop springs in rear of my truck
Ahh that would make sense because if I hit a bump it feels like I ran someone over. The way the exhaust is right now I can't drop the front anymore and I believe that I have the look I want in the front. I'm going to try those ece springs. I don't know much about suspension systems. If I had a notch in my frame then I would literally see a notch right up from axle correct?
