Re: ridetech c notches
If you don't plan on putting weight back there, you can get away with more drop. I'm at ~5 3/4" drop back there and bump off the C notch bumpstops when carrying weight. I've had up to 1080lbs in the back, that put me about 3/4" from the stops at rest.

Re: ridetech c notches
It isn't needed but you'll probably ending up notching it to get lower. With your bags deflated it will be the equivalent of around a 8in drop

Re: ridetech c notches
I would use the supplied notches to get you the best ride quality and suspension travel. What amount of drop are you looking to get?

Re: ridetech c notches
Here is a Picture with the level 2 coilovers installed. Are you looking for a stance similar to this? Also, It does not require any modifications to the bed floor.

Re: ridetech c notches
Thanks for everything bud. Kits looking great. I just lack the c notches. I'm going to install them anyway. The stance on the pic looks about right for me. Probably bigger wheels, but yeah. I'll send you some pics when it's done. Beyond impressed with your products.

Re: ridetech c notches
Just curious, if doing coil over setup then why the want for performance robbing wheels? Pictured above are 18" and are by far the best performance option for a pro touring style ride.
