K5 C Notch

I'm wanting to install a flip kit on the rear and try to go as low as I came and keep the factory floor. From what I've found so far no one makes a C Notch for the Blazer frame. Has anyone found one?

Re: K5 C Notch

I have this one book marked:
http://www.airbagit.com/1973-1991-CH...fli-che-04.htm
It is ambiguous in that is also says C10/20, but they also list different kits for C10's?

Just bought a c notch from CPP. I have modified the whole thing to fit. Better off to make your own.

Re: K5 C Notch

The biggest problem you will have is with the pumpkin hitting the rear floor. That will hit long before the axle tubes pose a problem.

I usually do a 2.5" notch if keeping the stock floor.

Re: K5 C Notch

Tvblazer did you box in the frame on the inside? What is the flat plate arch that is welded on the frame for?
