Whats your tire height going to be? That is what dictates the height of the notch.

The typical notch is approx 8"....I would say FAB up a nice deep notch, and you can always 'fill-in' with the install of a nice bump-stop if needed.

Again, what is the overall diameter of the tire ??

Do you have a tire size your thinking about ??

The frame dimensions offset over the axle. consider this when you build them since your not buiding them in place. I can get you both measurements if you would like.

I may be wrong on this, but for some reason 60 degrees is coming to mid for a notch angle. I did 45 degrees before, and the angle way too flat.
