Re: How low before needing a C notch on rear frame rails on 67-72 C10
I have a flip kit on my leaf spring short stepside. That dropped it 7" from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel arch. I removed the factory bump stop and used the urethane puck that came with the DJM kit. It contacts sometimes, but not bad. I can't imagine having any problems with a 5" drop.
Relocating the shocks should be mandatory though. On mine I drilled the more vertical hole in the factory leaf spring shosck mount and used stock length front shocks all the way around.
