c-notch....bed off?

Is it better to spend the time and effort to remove the bed (which I don't necessarily want to do unless i have to) to install my c-notch, or is it do-able without removing the bed? I've got 2 friends over to help me, and we're trying to decide which will be faster for us to get it done.

It can be done fairly easily with the bed in place. I wouldn't take the bed off unless you've got other reasons to do so.

AMEN BROTHER! Thanks for the quick response yesterday. It was NOT necessary at all to remove the bed. Once we got working under there it was piece of cake. It definitely would have been easier had we been working with a bare chassis, but it wouldn't have been worth going through all the trouble to pull the bed.

I didn't see this thread till just now...I did mine with my bed on, my Brother did his with the bed off. It is definetely easier with the bed off but as XXL stated, not necessary.

Should be no problem with the bed on. It will add some time, but not as much as pulling the bed off and then putting it back on.
