Newbe question, will a ZR2 rearend and springs fit in a CC

[GDEN]

Hello you have a great website here, With lots of info.
I have a 2001 CC. I have a ZR2 complete rearend with springs that I would like to put in my CC, will the complete ZR2 rearend and springs fit? and will I have to shorten my drive shaft? I am going to put it in today. would like some input.
Thanks

I can not say for sure if the springs will work, or be of any benefit. It is likely that the rear axle will bolt right in and work fine. At worst a conversion u-joint may be needed.

ZR2 rear axle upgrade.

As you can see there mine was a direct bolt in upgrade.

Thanks for the info, I just tried it with the ZR2 springs and it will not work with out shorting the driveshaft, the springs are about 1 1/4 inch to short, I will use the CC springs withe 2' shackle.
Thanks GD

You might consider pulling leaves and adding them to your pack, or using the leaves with better arch.
All you would need is a new center bolt. Stagger the ends and build a new pack. You can use the BSW kit as an example.
