hardwaa, how were your rear notches custom made? Is it because you moved your crossmember back?

I gave nate a template with dimensions and he cut them on his CNC plasma table I welded them together. I did not want any bigger notch than was necessary. Since my truck was not built to " LAY FRAME", I wanted to minimize the amount I had to raise the floor.

This was before he had his rear trailing arm kit. I would recommend talking to nate im sure he has what you need. :metal::metal::metal:

It makes perfect sense. Thanks. I am in the same boat, i don't want monster notches or too lay frame. It looked like yours wasn't as tall as other notches I have seen from Nate, I wasn't sure though. Your truck is sick, I want to achieve the same stance as yours (at ride height). Nothing like these old trucks riding low, just looks right.

Thanks again for the reply and message. :metal:

Nice work on the bed floor! Also, nice motor layout. Little stock, little custom. I am doing the same for mine.

I forgot to ask, are you using a proportioning valve for your brakes? I am considering a dual master setup and was wondering if you have to have one.
