Homemade C-Notch ?s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 90 Silverado that I want to do a 4/6 drop on. I have the stuff to do the front 4". To save some cash and because I have the tools to do it how hard is to make my own C-Notch. If I use the steel pipe cut in half what wall thickness do I need, and will I need to box the frame above the axles. Is the steel pipe method better or should I make the notch more squared off and build it out of pieces of steel plate.

I'm not wanting a bridge notch, just something similar to the bolt in Bell Tech notch but not costing a lot of money. Any help is appreciated.
