Rear End Set-Up

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone out there was running the rear trailing arm Kit from CPP. I'm talking about the tubular arm, new crossmember kit. I'm planning on running bags off the front of the axle, with a KCcomponents step-notch. I really just want to replace the stock control arms, if anyone has suggestions or pictures I would appreciate it. Thanks

That KP notch is an 8" I believe. 8" is more than you will ned if you are planning on using stock arms. I cut my 8" notch down to 6.5" because that is all I could really use with the arms in the stock location. I even had to make new arms out of 2x3 tubing to get it to bottom out the 6.5" notch, with a 2" lowering block. I guess you could use a 3" block instead of a 2" to get you a little lower.

is kp the only company that makes the notch with the offset for our trucks
looks a little spendy from what ive seen? but i guess it would make it alot easier then going with a straight notch
