Lower / Dropped Rear Spring Identification
 

I'm hoping someone on this forum can help identify these rear springs from my 1969 C10. I bought a rolling chassis with these installed, but the previous owner did not know how much drop they were for. I don't care about manufacturer, rather just how much drop they are for. I'm guessing its somewhere between 2" and 6", but I really don't know.

They have been painted, and the only marking I can find on them is a stamped R4. They measure about 10.25" under no load as seen in the picture. Installed, the truck sits pretty low with only a few inches between the frame and axle (and that's with just the bed floor installed).

Thanks!

Bump for weekend traffic

I've read on this forum that stock rear springs are between 12.25 to 13", so by my measurements they would be a 2-3" drop. However, the R4 stamping leads me to believe they may be a 4" drop. The front has dropped spindles and maybe springs (I'll be asking about them once I finish the rear), so it would make sense if the rear was dropped at least 2.5" as well.

I have a pair of CCP dropped coils out in the shop that still have all of the markings on them. I can't remember off the top of my head what they are but I will check and measure the overall height in the morning if you haven't received the info.

They are 4" rear drop springs from Brothers trucks. I bought 5" rear drop coil springs and 1" front drop coils from them. The fronts are stamped "F1" and the rear are stamped "R5".

Thanks for the replies. The 4" drop totally makes sense based on how close the axle is to the frame.
