1964-72 rear coils - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found that you can do a low budget lowering on the rear springs. I used rear 2000-2004 (possibly other years) Jeep TJ rear coil springs. They are a bit softer due to smaller diameter coils. They ride nice and lower it a bit. They are plentiful and if you hook up with an offroad shop they may practicly give them away.

If someone is interested I have 2 rear TJ springs i'll sell for 20$ plus shipping. They wouldnt work for me because I haul things and they bottomed out. They are very very thin.

That's pretty well-known around here but we appreciate the info anyway. Maybe we can post all the low-buck options and put it in FAQ?

I hear of guys running Chevelle springs out back too.

I like the low buck stuff. I had to try it myself

I think it'd make a nice FAQ
