c-notch question

can anyone tell me how deep the cpp c-notch is and how much maximum clearance can i expect to get ? is it necessary to use the c-notch bumpstops or can I eleminate them for more drop when its aired out?

You can eliminate the supplied bumpstops but then the lowest item that causes interference will will usually be the thing that limits travel (which is typically the rear pumkin meeting the bed floor).

The CPP notch allows for 3" additional clearance vs. the original lower portion of the frame rail.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I put CPP's c notches in my truck a while back, they fit really good, i also took my bump stops out for that extra 1/2 inch

The fit is good but not perfect. Definitely close enough for what they cost.
