Do your front tires rub when you do tight turns?

Re: Looking for pics with 4/6 drops

With the 4/6 drop is it necessary to notch the rear frame so it doesn't hit the frame stops. I plan on installing a drop kit but do not want to notch the frame. I plan on being able to tow my jet boat and do not want to reduce the towing capacity with the weaker frame if notched.

If you don't plan to haul anything heavy, then a c-notch isn't required. Since you plan to haul a boat, though. a c-notch is highly recommended. Just don't cheap out. I recommend a bolt in notch from Porterbuilt. They're pretty stout and stiffen the frame where it's been cut. It can also be welded in for extra strength.
