C notched and dropped???

[broey]

If a c notch is boxed in like it should be (which most are) then its probably the strongest part of the frame. Just because the factory built something a certain way, it doesn't make it the best way. Thats why companies are able to sell performance parts. To improve on factory flaws. My truck lays pinch weld and is just as strong, If not stronger than when it was stock.
