c notch question
okay I am looking at the 3/5 drop kit from Western Chassis and am just curious. Is it absolutely necessary to notch the frame with the 5" flip kit? They sell a 3/5 deluxe kit that includes the c-notch kit for 279.95, or the econo kit for 209.95. Price is not my worry I just need to know if I HAVE to or Highly recommended that i "C" the frame
 Thanks in advanced!

Re: c notch question
you can go with out a notch and short bump stops, but I would get a c-notch more axle clearance, and it will allow you to go lower

Re: c notch question
would i be better off in the long run by going with a spindle+spring combo for the front?

Re: c notch question
Yes, and you don't need a C-notch with the flip kit

Re: c notch question
I have yet to drive with my cnotch on but it looks like if you plan on towing anything you will need it for clearance.
