Thanks for the info. I was wondering if I needed a C-Notch when dropping this much which is 5-6" in the rear. The 2 trucks I have pictured are not notch and I was told that it is not necessary. What do you think?

Another avenue would be to use lowering blocks on the rear to drop 2-3 inches in back. I think it looks good as it is, but dropping the back end a little would look better IMO.

nope it's an original shortbed truck. They just used it like it was a long bed? Saddle tanks and welded in tow hitch.
