Re: lowering my truck
Do the flip kit.
Cheaper and doesn't require a c-notch. Look around the board at what other people have done. Also,... welcome to the board.

Re: lowering my truck
Welcome to the boards. I agree with the others if you are wanting to go 5-6" lower then that is the best and cheapest way to get there.
Also

Re: lowering my truck

Re: lowering my truck
You'll be fine without a c-notch.
I've had a couple trucks with a flip kits and no notch. ('86 and '87,... both shortbeds) Only a super heavy load in the bed will get the frame close to the rear axle.
