Re: Making your own cnotch

Re: Making your own cnotch

This thread has alot of good info on notches and frame rail strength. A bolt in C-Notch like from CPP will allow the truck to drop enough that you'll need tall bumpstops to keep the differential from hitting the bed floor- kinda pointless to have that deep of a notch. There's a 2" pipe notch shown in the thread that keeps the factory frame rail strength for towing or hauling if needed.

Re: Making your own cnotch

At VGhope: kool! that's more help! I have another buddy that also want to join the fun! Haha! I all ready have a bolt in mini notch but I'm looking to get a bigger one to lay the rear down. I'm also not trying to make a over exaggerated cnotch. Im rather make my own than just go the easy route and buy one. Thanks for link.
