I do not have notches, nor do I feel that it needs them. If I really load up the bed, it will hit the stops but it is not a big deal. I also am running the stock track bar.

Attachment 385405 Thanks for the help,this is Moxies truck we are thinking of giving her a new stance.He really wants to run the same size tires on all four corners but after installing the new disc conversion it seemes to have widened the front end,so thats why we need a plan,maybe new front crossmember and a drop?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-24-2008, 09:37 PM

No C notches needed for a 4" drop.

northern 85 · 08-26-2008, 07:49 PM

Any of you guys added front disk brakes to the stock crossmember? Seems to have widened the front end,any info out there?

I never checked. Sure did make my truck ride real nice though. The 700R4 was great also.
