Size of rear C-notch
Hey guys, I'v ebeen reading all, or a majority of the air bag posts, and I came up with a question I didn't see really answered. I'm looking to lay the frame on my 70 LWB. I'm going with the 1.25"-1.5" front crossmember drop, but the question I have is regarding the rear. How big of a notch will I need? I have a plan to work the bed wood around the notch and to my best calculations, it should look pretty trick. I'm leaning towards the Suicide Doors 8", but if I need the 10", no biggie. Just want to know before I have to send parts back or worse, "unweld" them. Thanks y'all, great site.

I going to be running 20" in the front, and 22" in the rear. These are the rims I'm looking at right now: Lusso Truck Porbable 8" wide front, 9.5" or 10" in the rear, wider if I can without any major fender work.

With a 10" wide wheel in the back you won't be able to go side to side or the tires will rub. Mine rub with 17"X8.5" with 255 55 17 tires. Need to do a slight tub.
