i have a bit of a problem after my c notch instal

before i installed these my front tires were rubing bad on the inner wheel well, now after i installed them im an inch higher in the front than the back and i have no more rubbing, would c notches change the geometry that much? also what are you guys doing about panhard bars and the c notch, im glad mine was only in like 2 threads because it hit the notch and pulled right out. some one have some answers or solutions for me?

C-notches won't change the geometry at all unless you were already sitting the frame on the axle, in which case, you freed up the rearend to move upward a little.

As for the Panhard bar, for the long "track bar" type from ECE, it will hit the C-notch bracket. When I still have a stock frame back half with C-notch, I made the passenger notch longer to allow the Panhard bar to slip up into the notch. Search this forum for a variety of solutions to this problem.
