Re: c notch question

50% here will say a c-notch was not required for their 6" drop; the other 50% will tell you one was needed on theirs.

Be smart. Plan for & install one while you're in there doing the work.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: c notch question

Ya i e-mailed one of the suppliers with the same question, and was told that i would only gain an inch of clearance before the rear end smacked the bottom of the box. I guess i have to look at it when i get the suspension changed over, and the drop installed . The only thing the truck will hauling will be my @$$,and the occasional case of beer or two. Thanks guys
