TX Tuff Country Easy Ride 6" Rear Springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Conroe trucker · 02-02-2010, 02:14 PM

Have a set of Tuff Country Easy Ride FRONT springs, never installed.
Prefer not to ship, but they will go UPS if shipped as each $150 set or trade for good set of rally trim rings. plus freight. Figure weight is about 75lbs. each.

I think I have a decent set of trim rings at home - let me check and be sure...I am interested in a trade.

Thanks.

#2 in line.

**chevy71super** · 02-02-2010, 11:08 PM

#3 please. Thanks, Doug

I have a set of trim rings - don't have a camera tonight though - I will get you a couple pix tomorrow when I get home from work if that is OK with you.

I might just take the rings to work since my camera is there and upload them there...

Let me know when you have a moment if that is OK.

What would shipping be to 43615?

Thanks.

Conroe trucker · 02-03-2010, 11:27 AM

Sent PM with email address. If these are shipped, they will ship the way they came to me, wrapped in cardboard individually. Kind of hard to break a leafspring......

I do have two sets to sell.

The lift is 6" from eye to eye. So make sure that makes sense with your measurements and I will post pics with tape for everyone.

Blue_71 · 02-03-2010, 12:34 PM

well, ill jump in line, looks like im #4 i think

**lks dcvn** · 02-03-2010, 02:42 PM

Hopping out of line - go to the next guy (special-k)...there are some other things I need more than these right now.

Thx.

Conroe trucker · 02-03-2010, 08:22 PM

Sorry for the delay.
Just so you guys know........

I have two sets.

One set was installed but never driven, the truck sat 2"+ too high for what I wanted, but we did not have the motor or tank in it. Once installed we knew we had a problem.

The Tuff Country part number and tag say 4", but it is really a 6" as measured by the tape.

Below is a pic of the springs and shows the amount of arch in each spring.
So I will need to know which set you want. I think I have the removed bushings. On my truck, we went to the larger diameter drilled out bolts with zerks so we could grease the shackles. If you want to do that, take the ones w/o bushings.

Go to my build site:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=301052&page=2
There are pics of the bolts.

I think I got the trim ring shortage handled. So it would be a sale.

special-k - Your #1 21771 Zip $ 55.00/LEAF with ins.
chevy71super - Your #2 need zip guess $ 70.00/LEAF
blue_71 - Your #3 need zip guess $ 50.00/LEAF

Let me know guys!

**chevy71super** · 02-04-2010, 01:35 AM

I'm still interested. Let me know if you need trim rings. I have a set. Shipping to 93065 (California). Thanks Doug

Blue_71 · 02-04-2010, 02:17 AM

im not really picky on which set, but it would be nice to match the set of fronts i bought off ebay that came with rear blocks

if either set gets to me, my zip is 42141

drunkbus · 02-05-2010, 01:36 PM

Are there springs missing in the pictures above?

Conroe trucker · 02-05-2010, 02:50 PM

Guys I apologize, my error.

drunkbus caught it and I realize it now.

These are FRONT leafsprings, not rears.
Man I am sorry of that.
Good thing they did not ship yet.

We corrected the height on the rears by removing the overload leaf.

Drunkbus thank you very much. Beers on me.

Blue_71 · 02-05-2010, 02:57 PM

that knocks me out

i already have a set of 6" front springs

**chevy71super** · 02-06-2010, 12:29 PM

I was wondering when I looked at the pictures. I already have 6" front springs as well. Looking to move away from rear blocks. Sorry but I am out as well. Doug
