3" DJM rear drop springs

New but were installed once but no miles. I sold these to a member and he installed them and said he only saw a 1/2" drop and he sent them back and I refunded his money. I have the original receipt showing they are a 3" drop springs and can get measurements tonight. Price is $75 plus shipping.

****pics and measurements added below

Re: 3" DJM rear drop springs

Just to note, you have to drive the truck with the springs before they'll break in and settle down.

I agree. The original 40 yr old springs may have settled as well.

Re: 3" DJM rear drop springs

Here is a shot of my 5 inch drop springs for comparison. They come in at 9 inches overall.
Agree with texanidiot25 about having to drive the truck to get the correct affect. Also I wonder if the other guy measured those against his original?

Don't mean to crush the potential sale, but you must be a paying board member to buy and sell on the parts board as per board rules.

Not to buy just to sell.

Kevin, I apologize for that. I just reviewed the board rules again concerning buying and selling. I honestly thought it applied to both buying and selling. Again, sorry about that. Good Luck with your sale.
