4 inch rear coils - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

aitch · 02-22-2005, 06:47 AM

I'm planning on installing 4" lowering springs on my 69 GMC LWB after I change out the rear end to trailing arm five lug.

Anyone have buying suggestions or a set for sale?

Thanks

You won't go wrong with Early Classic Enterprises springs.

I have a 4'rear set from Classic Industries that we took out of a local truck, they had been in it a week, we put our EIBACH 4' coils in it. 50.00 + ship.

Ed, why did you remove them?. I might be interested in those if Aitch passes.

I am very interested, but am curious as to why they were repalced.
Thanks aitch

He complained about the ride and handling quality of the Classic Industries coils and KYB shocks so we changed them out with our kit Eibach and Doetsch Tech. This was the first set of CI coils i had ever seen or heard of so i don't know anything about them only what he said but they are a lot thinner in diameter than stock or Eibach.

I'm interested too if the other pass.

Ed, were the kyb's GR2 (silver/gray) or the gas adjust (White)

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 02-23-2005, 10:20 AM

They were the gas shocks.

Frank_Zeller · 02-23-2005, 10:40 AM

ED,

I will BUY the springs.

aitch · 02-23-2005, 12:03 PM

Ed,
I will pass.
Thanks for the info. Since I'm new to this and can find no information on the CI springs I don't want to take a chance on buying what may be "weak" springs.
Not sure how much the KYB shocks contributed to the ride and handling quality.
Next!

Thanks,
aitch

Ed, since aitch has elected to pass, I would like to buy them if they are still for sale. You can PM me with payment info. Thanks
