C-notch vs. step notch
Just wondering if anybody has pics of their trucks with just a C-notch. I'm debating wether I'll be able to get my truck as low as I want with a bolt or weld in C-notch. I'd prefer to go this way if I can get low enough, that way I wont have to use a step notch and raise the bed floor.
So, I guess I'd like to see some pics of trucks with the bolt or weld in c-notch so I can see how low can I get it with one of these setups? |

Re: C-notch vs. step notch
I have just the bolt in c-notch because I wanted to still be able to use my truck as a truck to haul stuff around and didnt want to loose the bed space when step notching and raising the bed floor extremely, or having the step notch sticking thur the bed , I did have to raise the bed floor up a 1 1/2" so the rear end diff. didnt hit the bottom of the bed and aloud the axle tube to sit all the way into the c-notch when aired out and didnt want to cut a square hole in the bed like ive seen done before which i think looks like crap.....i also am air bagged so i can change my ride height depending on how heavy a load i carry heres some pictures with the rear of the truck all the way down,sooner or later I will modify the front lower control arms and get the front end lower then with the front bolt in bag plates and should even out the stance....you can see how i did everything in my build thread:

Re: C-notch vs. step notch
Thanks for the pics losthope. I've been following your build over on the hamb. Like you, I want to be able to use my truck bed for hauling stuff, so I don't want a big step in the middle of the bed. For now I plan on just doing a static drop, so I guess I'd have to figure my lowest ride height would be a couple inches higher than when you're aired out.
