C notch is when you cut out a section of the frame above the axle so the axle can actually rest in the chassis a little.

and that picture is friggen hilarious!

is it my truck or the wheels that is funny?

Dinnut,

People's concepts of beauty vary, that I grant you. In my opinion, those wheels just look wrong on the truck. Those wheels look super custom, and the truck appears otherwise stock.

i know why that picture was funny. i was messign with you... those wheels do look scary on my truck...

maybe if u had some rubber

Now a bridge is different than a C-Notch. The bridge or monster notch, depends on what people call it will allow your axle to set WAY up inside the frame. Allowing you to drastically drop ur SH!T.

thats a pretty tight setup

dinnut · 05-23-2003, 02:20 PM

crank? got another pic of that truck with the bridge?

Crank · 05-23-2003, 02:22 PM

Hrmm, Doubtful, but I've got more pics of trucks with them, like other suspension setups.

yea looks pretty....

but it looks like it has a reversed 4 link, which leads to a bad pinion angle and bad braking characteristics. in otherwords, poor design. 4 links are meant to be run forward, the way they were designed to work, not reversed.

heres how you rear end goes up and down on a truck with a 4 link installed properly
<-- front of truck -----)
when you install the 4 link in reverse it now looks like this
<-- front of truck -----(

see the problems?

Looks like a regular triangulated 2-link to me... same basic geometry principles as used on 60-72 trucks.

Go with a big notch as the small one will only do you for anout a year or so and then you will want to go lower. Trust ME!!
