c-notch question

[BB6T7]

can anyone tell me how deep the cpp c-notch is and how much maximum clearance can i expect to get ? is it necessary to use the c-notch bumpstops or can I eleminate them for more drop when its aired out?

You can eliminate the supplied bumpstops but then the lowest item that causes interference will will usually be the thing that limits travel (which is typically the rear pumkin meeting the bed floor).

The CPP notch allows for 3" additional clearance vs. the original lower portion of the frame rail.

Hey thanks for the info scotti that measurment is exactly what i needed to know.
the research ive done points to the cpp notch as being the one of choice around here for quality,fit, price. is this still the case?

I put CPP's c notches in my truck a while back, they fit really good, i also took my bump stops out for that extra 1/2 inch

The fit is good but not perfect. Definitely close enough for what they cost.

Thats cool, Are you doing a custom setup or are you putting bags on trailing arms?

[BB6T7]

Im gonna use stock trailing arms with c-notch and bags.
My truck now has ECE 4.5/6 drop.
my son and I are starting his project in July, its a 61 short bed thats gonna get dropmember and custom rear. Im not sure what to do for the rear any suggestions??

Um you coul build your own 4 link, there are lots of designs that you could do it just depends on if you are wanting to slam it in the weeds or just going for cruising

Dropmember rear kit.

The only way to go is the Dropmember package, this way the front and the rear will match and be balanced without the hassle and fab work.

Fab work is what makes it fun

I talked to Nate about the dropmember kit for the 61 . He said he didnt plan on building rear kits for 60-62 since demand would be pretty low.maybe if enough of us needed them he would!
My best options probly a universial 4-link ,maybe ride tech or kp, ill have to check them out
