Getting ready for step notch

I'm getting ready to install notch and was wondering what is the best notch to lower with stock trailing arms. I was going to go with poterbuilt weld on but they no longer make it and their new one is out of my budget...so I look up thorbros and their is 11 inch "lays 24" for a good price. I did do a search but not much info?? What are you guys rolling with?

Re: Getting ready for step notch

I got mine at air bag it, not much info came with it, we almost installed it incorrectly so be careful, we ended up making a temporary jig, tacked it together then tacked it on the truck, then welded it up,,,,then cut the frame and finished welding it up. here is a link to some photos which show how we did it........

after you get to the photos just click on the thumbnails to view them, look in the top left of the screen and click next to see the next set of pictures....we actually did the pre assembly (tacking the bridges together) then hauled Corina over to a welding shop and for $100.00 they finish welded and cut the frame since my cracker box welder was not up to the task....

Re: Getting ready for step notch

rollpans website says they sell a monster notch to lay out on 22" and are located in orangvale not far from us for $189, even tho the picture is not correct with the pre bent notch the description says it is the right notch for our trucks...... heres the c-notch on website: http://www.rollpans.com/Frame-Notch-...l_p_14770.html

cool guys they are where i bought my bolt in bag plates and when i called to make sure they had them ,they gave them to me cheaper then the website says.....they are local so depending on how fast you need a c-notch might be worth driving there and paying the extra $40, then ordering from thorsbros and paying the $139 and shipping.... good luck!
