Front 3inch drop spindle and 2 inch drop spring or 2 1/2 spindle and 2 1/2 drop spring. Rear 4 inch drop hanger and remove a leaf spring or two. As well as a bolt in c notch

I dont think they make drop hangers that large and if they did it would throw your pinion so far off you would vibrate down the road.

i havent had any luck in finding hangers that would lower it that low what about a flip kit?

Drop hangers and shackles together will get your 4 inches. To get 6 you can do a flip kit. To get 7 you can do a flip kit and shackle.

A truck flip kit will get you in your 6"-7" rear drop range,... but you will need a c-notch and sheetmetal mod to the floor to keep the center section of the rearend off the floor.

My old '91 burb had 4" drop leaf springs and the rearend was close to hitting on large bumps.

That link is for a flip kit not shackles/hangers

As for the hangers I have no clue

I was using my phone.
I had shackle/hanger drop on my mind.
Sorry.

If you do a flip kit,... stick with Belltech or Western Chassis or McGaughy's.
They have a better designed flip kit bracket.
