The coil springs are 5inch drop units from Early Classic Enterprises. The rear end is a 3.08 gear unit from a 72 Suburban. It's a straight bolt in to these earlier trucks giving you 5 lug wheel bolt pattern and much bigger brakes.<br /><br />I also used Early Classic Enterprises shock relocator kit with KYB shocks and a Super Track Bar kit. <br /><br />Basically, it's the rear 5 inch drop deluxe kit that Early Classic Enterprises sells.<br /><br />Any more questions, just ask and I will do my best to answer and supply any pictures I might have.Kevin Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516990608230843162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661500106314131417.post-27524766506698922272010-02-06T08:11:39.724-06:002010-02-06T08:11:39.724-06:00Hi Kevin
Thanks for your useful information again....Hi Kevin<br />Thanks for your useful information again. Very helpful. Wondering if you had the time to go into a little detail as to what you did and what you used for the rear suspension on your truck.<br />I find it interesting and inspiring following your projects.<br />BrianBrian M from Calgarynoreply@blogger.com
