I would not notch the frame personally, it could really weaken the frnt crossmember and pickup points. Why not just buy some western or djm drop a-arms, or belltech spindles. I have some custom 1.5" drop arms and stock spindles and I can barely get my fingers between the tire and the fender liner when aired out....tires are 275/40-20

Just an update if anyone was wondering. The rear suspension is done. Front A-arms are on its way. The fueltank is just waiting on some bungs that i can weld in. The crossmemebers have been tunnel'd for the drive shaft. I have some pics somewhere... Its going slower than i intended it too.
