How Low Can You Go?

Whats up guys, i have a 1970 gmc pickup, currently at a 3 inch drop. Honestly its still not low enough for me. I was wondering what the most you can go without having to C-Notch is. I want it to be low, but i dont wanna try to C-Notch it, Eventually ill get coilvers with it, but id like your guys input. Thanks!

Re: How Low Can You Go?

There has to be more to it than just shocks. The original mounts would not be strong enough to support the weight of the truck, not to say that the mounts couldn't be bolt-on.....

How low can you go without a c notch?
If you pull out the bumpstops, all the way to the frame.
