CPP 5.5/7 Drop parts

I have a complete 5.5/7 drop under my '71 fleet side that I am going to replace with Porterbuilt stuff. It consists of: 2.5" drop spindles, 3" front springs, 5 rear springs with a 2" block, gas charged shock front/rear with rear shock re-locators, and an adjustable track bar. I'd also like to include the front rotors and calipers in this deal. It's about $1000 new, what do you think it's worth?

Re: CPP 5.5/7 Drop parts

i usually start at 75% of new value for anything in "like new" condition bc any higher than that people would rather buy new. if its well used, rusting, or worn out i would drop from there. thats a popular drop im sure youll sell it quick. its exactly what i plan to do actually, if i wasnt still looking for a truck id be all over it...

Re: CPP 5.5/7 Drop parts

thanks for the reply. do you have any pics of what the truck looks like with the kit? what wheel size are you running? what price are you entertaining?

thanks,
Greg

Re: CPP 5.5/7 Drop parts

Here is a pic of it with 15" wheels and a pic of it with 20" wheels. Not sure on the price yet, I have to get a house ready to sell before I can start my Porterbuilt installation so i haven't put a lot of thought into it. I will probably take 68bowtie's advice and start with 75% of the new price and deal from there. When I am ready to sell I will list it in classified section per forum rules.
