notching when u drop

[kevinr1970]

I keep reading that you don't need a notch with a flipkit, but on my crew project I have had a chance to drive it around a few times and pulling out of parking lots and going over speed-bumps it seems to bump pretty good.
*EDIT* - this is with the c-notch's installed, I guess I didn't make that clear. I get a pretty good bump coming down the backside of a speed-bump WITH THE C-NOTCH INSTALLED.
If I didn't have the notch installed, I would be hitting the axle housing with every pebble in the road.

I assume I am hitting the bump stops that came with the flipkit (Belltech), but it sems like a pretty rough bump?
I know it is a crew, but the rear half of the frame is from a 1/2 ton swb so the shouldn't be an issue.

I was told the same thing on my '06 GMC swb when I did shackles & hangers, but it bottomed out on every bump in the road I went over.
I had to do a notch on that one for my own sanity...
