Will shock hit the C-Notch?

The c-notch will be about one forth of an inch from the shock. Will the shock hit the c-notch will the truck is bouncing up, and down? The c-notch is not installed yet.

That is a common c-notch, and you should be fine. Are you flipping the axle?

It was flipped when I got it. They also cut off the front steering stops. I plan to bolt some home made steering stops on the lower control arms. My 15 inch wheels hit the control arms now. Thank all of you for your replies.

What size shocks should I get. The bell tech shocks are too big. They are 13-and 1/2 inches on the truck. They are 12 inches to 18 and 1/2 inches long. They will not let the truck travel up very much. It does have a flip kit. I don't think the rear end will hit the frame. I think the shock will bottom out first.
