Those are nice tall notches but does anyone make a notch that is not so tall....something between these and a simple c-notch?

Love your builds.......

Yes sir, not sure how much yet but we will be running a Budnik Pivot, 22x12 with a 6 inch lip ! I personally think any more then 6 inches and you loose the face of the wheel . That's just my preference

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 
Im kinda wanting to do the same, only my wallet will decide how wide the lip is...curious to see the rear set up, I may have to get Nate and the boys to build me something similar to work with my back-half....keep up the great work!

Thanks Everyone !

Well the camera bit the dust so I am a few days behind so lets get caught up !
We started smoothing / shaving adding the frame notches for steering.
After getting the notches in I decided to go ahead and shave the bump on the top of the pass frame rail, then all the holes in front of the notch. Next came the bump in front of the shock mount and fully welding in the shock mounts and Dropmember

Hopefully starting them next week, I probably wont post any pictures of them until they are done. I apologize for that but I don't want anyone copying my work on them but hey you never know .....everyone might hate what I am going to do on them but I think it will be cool ! LOL
