C-notch?
Do I need to c-notch the rear end if I'm lowering about 5-6" in the back with springs?
Also is there a company that makes square tube trailing/track arms for the rear end? I'm going full custom here. ------------------ 70' C-10SWB beater with a heater, one day haulin a$$ with class

With that much drop you will want a notch. As for the trailing arms, why not box yours yourself? That may be your only option, as I have never seen any others.

I just finished a 4/5 drop on my 68. I got about 40 miles on it so far without any bottoming. I've hit a few nice bumps but nothing to severe! If its to be driven alot especially on bad roads, notch it!

You can probably get by with a 5" drop,& no notch. That is if the truck is a driver,& you dont plan to do any hauling. Good luck.------------Hotrodhorn
