c-notch

Does anyone know if the truck c-notch will fit on the blazers? There is no way my axle is going to clear with a flip kit, I assume my springs are sagging a bit.

Re: c-notch

Which one are you referring to?

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes though.

Re: c-notch

I am looking at the western chassis flip kit and c-notch, they don't have or I can't find one for a Blazer. This is the one I am talking about.

Have you cut off the bump stop bracket yet? I have a flip and added 2" lift shackles and I have enough clearance now.

Re: c-notch

I checked it out, and the bolt in/on notches are pretty universal, should fit your blazer just fine. If you wanna make sure I would just call them to make sure it would fit (safe side). I had one on my '74 short wide and it had a flip (with no shackle at the time) and it never came close to getting into the notch til I hauled a heavy load. If you start pulling leafs out to gain more drop then you will start needing a notch a lot sooner since your spring pack will be a lot softer.

Like cochino12 said, you might not need one. You could just get the flip kit, install it, and then see if you need the notch. If so just get it later. If you are getting it in a kit and a discount is involved maybe just get it all together, possibly save on shipping costs too.

But back to your main question, I would say yes but call the company you decide to go with first, that never hurts.

Re: c-notch

The frames are different on Blazers than Trucks.
