i am planing on lowering my truck another inch all the way around to make it a 4/7. right now i use a 3" belltech spring in front and 4" leaf w/shackle in back. help up front will be belltech nitro 2's(adjustable). the rear i am going to flip w/shackle. but the question is about a c-notch. everyone that can sell me one is out of stock. does anyone know if a universal notch would work. also how different is the frame on a 97-03 to 04-08? i can find the 97-03 everywhere, can i make one of them work?

any help would be appreciated!

 

from what i have have been told there is no one that makes a c-notch i have called belltech, djm, ground force, and mc gaulty or however you spell it and no one makes one who have you called that says they are out of stock?

 

i called stylin trucks and another place(i can't remember the name) that i found in truckin mag.

 

chassis tech (AIM)?

 

and the one stylin is talking about is one that belltech was going to make and they never went through with it the guy from belltech said they made a prototype and never went through with it because they didnt think there would be a need for it and i told him trust me there would be cause i want one myself cause i want to go an inch lower in the rear i can go any lower in the front not with the 24s anyways

 

not sure. it was a couple weeks ago. i did find a universal notch that you can bolt or weld in. i am not sure if it would work or not. i guess i will have to measure the frame and get the dimensions on the notch.

 

i have 6 years of welding and fab experience and im thinking about just getting some 8" 1/4" pipe and cutting it in half and cutting the frame so that half piece will fit in the frame and weld it in and then taking some 2" square tubing 1/4" thick and weling it above the piece that i welded in to make it rigid i did all me suspension work on my show truck thats in my pics the 93 ford

 

A static 4-7 would make your truck sit LOW.....

Hell my front cross member on my truck already looks beat to sh*t because of how low it sits. I'm only a 3/5

 

Yeah I'm dropped 4-6 I drag crap all the time myself

 

bankrpt - with you 4" in front did you cut the tie rod and the ends? if so how much? that's all i am really worried about.

like i said it's a 3/6 right now. so another inch isn't going to be that big of a deal. just some extra work.

 

O yeah man I had to cut them don't know how much my alignment shop did it for me ur alignment shop should be able to do it also I have lower control arms instead of springs

 

Don't be worried about cutting them my truck had less than 500 miles on it when I dropped it and it has over 70000 now and that was back on 04 when these trucks came out never had any type of problem either
