whats the best way to lower
 

my truck i got a 87 chevy long bed if that matters at all. i just want to drop it like 1" in the front and like 2 in the back to make it even all they way around.

thanks

For such a small drop I would say drop coils (if that come in that small of a drop) for the front and shackles for the rear..

If you want it level.. why not raise the front? :devil:

I cut a coil off to get teh front down, I liked the rake lok so I did nothing with the rear.

cut a half coil & move tha hanger up in tha rear..

Have you ever done the hanger with out a shackle? I am curious to know if that would create a pinion angle problem. Any time I have done a hanger I have done a shackle as well, so I really don't know if its an issue or not.

I chopped coils a long time ago.... what a mess. I had nothing but issues. i would suggest a 2inch drop spindle. and a shackle hanger kit. Reason for the spindles is proper alignment and adjustability if you decide to add a set of coils later. you really won't notice a 2 inch drop. To level it out drop the rear 4 inches. Do not chop your coils..... take it from me you will regret it. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

For the rear from experience: remove a few leafs, free and easy to return to stock (no cutting rivits)

For the front: not from experience: cut some coils, but make sure to take all the proper pre measurements.... talk with a few susp goys on how to find wheel to hub distance and all that good stuff so she sits strait and level and square
