[ONEARMEDBANDITT]

I have a 1987 custom deluxe pick up, it has 15x8 rallies on it with 275/60/15 I was wondering how much I could lower it without any issues.. I don't want to cut or grind on anything. thanks in advance

3 inches...using drop coils .....or 2-1/2 with spindles up front. Out back drop hangers.

How much drop will hangers give me

Hangers will get you 2 inches. Add shakles and you get 4 inches. You might have to trim a bed support with both. @JKnight or @smoothandlow84 could answer for sure on that.

2.5" spindles and 1" springs up front and a 5" flip in the rear (no notch needed, but need to remove rear bump stops) will sit you low and level without any major modification. Stock shocks on the front and mid 90's Nissan Hardbody shocks on the rear (I use cheap monroes vs. expensive drop shocks) and you're there.

Rear drop hangers...about 2...to 2-1/2". You might have to notch the bed frame supports depending on the hangers. My support rails are notched, however I also have a axle flip along with rear hangers which gave me a total of 7 inches of drop. I went a little further and removed my overload leaf spring to soften the ride...and now its currently closer to a 9 inch drop out back. I dont have 15" wheels, but 20" front and back. If you want to lower a bit, and not cut.....go with springs and hangers. (And get an alignment).
