Re: ideas on tire sizes?
No C notch, there's about 3" of clearance between the frame and axle, has only bottomed out once when carrying a load of ceramic tiles, other than that no issues

Re: ideas on tire sizes?
I would do the flip kit first and see how you like it. If you plan on hauling a lot of stuff then think about adding an additional spring.

Re: ideas on tire sizes?
Here a site where you can plug in tire sizes and compare height and width. (Choose the 'Overlay' option)
