If I can beat daylight enough, I'll get them put on and snap a pic. I measured everything, and found out I can go a good SOLID 2" in the back, and at least a good solid inch in the front (lower). So that will put my pinchweld between 7"-8" off the ground

BTW: I see no point in Notching...when we were putting my fuel cell in. My friend and I (I'm 200lbs, he's 250lbs) were both jumping up and down in the bed, and the MOST the frame moved was 1.5". Right now, I've got a SOLID 4" of clearance, so 2" should be no problem. (Since I don't plan on hauling anything heavier than 200lbs anyway, and I don't drive it on any REALLY rough roads (as well as I try to avoid potholes, etc.)
