kev2809 · 08-19-2009, 03:04 PM

truck looks good man, in that pic with bags in place of springs was the frame notched or the regular frame sitting on the axle?

yeah the picture of the truck fully assembled the frame was not notched. brothers sells a frame notch kit the will let you go about 2 inchs lower that the picture. i think its like 150 bucks it requires little cutting and it bolts in place. and you can still use your stock suspension.
