Bagging Question:

I've been tearing up the suspension forum lately but I'm trying to get it right:

Do I need a C-Notch if I bag the rear of my truck? I'd like to have around 6" of drop and a level stance. (2.5 drop spindles up front with bags)...

Re: Bagging Question:

Im assuming your talkin 67-72 chevy...if so the answer is no and yes...if you just want a little drop no, if you want to go fairly low then yes do a notch...its not rocket science, without a notch your axle will hit the bottom of your rear rails...measure between the two, thats the most drop you can possibly get without a notch. Don't forget to allow for travel....if you do the notch, worst case senario is you will have a little extra room.

And that should be about 4" minimum
