So I'm thinking of cutting one coil off the springs, and having my machinist extend the stock schackles 2.5"

My questions are, is there any reason that plan won't work? and, if not, are all '87 full size dually pickups the same 3500 chassis, thus enabling a better coil solution?

MANY THANKS

My '83 P10 chassis parts are identical to C10 pickup. I suspect your 3500 would be the same as a 1 ton dually.

PS You desperately need some sway bar bushings!!
