$225 Attitude Adjustment
I thought I would share my 3/5 coil spring drop from CPP. I picked it up on ebay for $225 shipped to my door 3" front drop and 5" rear drop with bolts and retainer cups. I know I may need to do some other additions to the suspension to make it more road friendly but this is a good start. I have 3 different size tires on it right now so it sits a little funky but pretty level. This is part of my 69 GMC budget build.

Re: $225 Attitude Adjustment
You may want to add ECE's shock kit with the shock relocater and adjustable panard bar. It'll make your truck handle sweet.

 That would cost more than I paid for the truck. I dont think it will fit into the budget category of this beast. I'm saving all the goodies for my frame off project I have going.
