See I have the opposite problem of what you have going on. My azz is sitting high now so I need a c notch so I can lower the rear another inch. Put me back how I want it.

So you have no notch? Are you riding axle on frame?

I did get by with a 3" drop spring and 2.5" drop spindle. But my wheel backspacing is perfect. Thanks Robert lol. You may have to work the fender lip a little also if you went 3" coils and 2.5" spindles. You need the PB control arms and it open up anything you want at that point.

I know from what I have done is anything past 5.5" front drop with the correct wheel spacing you will need the PB control arms. With those you can get 6.5" 7.5" 8.5" and in between.

I have no issue getting the control arms but it says 4-6 weeks out. Guess I've gone this long so what's another wait...

I put button bump stops on so I can get my thumb in between frame and button bump stops. Monotube on rear also but I still will hit depending on the bump or hole. I need the PB c notch.
WC flip kit WC drop hangers WC drop shackle. I am at 8" drop in rear and will go that other 1" when I notch it.

Yes they are made to order. Man you won't regret it. Plus you can use coils now and if you decide on bags you can still use them!! Win win!!

Also get the PB front shock relocators you will need them also.

Get your shocks from KYB outlet or RockAuto.

KYB kg4613a

These shocks do not fit. The eyelet on the bottom is to small. So these are a no go. I will just use the ones I have. Nothing wrong with them. But what I have does work perfect. The first set of KYB mono shocks I post for amd work perfect.

These are the part numbers you would need. These are verified cause I am running them and been running them for 6 months.

KYB-KG5474

Would you recommend the KYB Gas-A-Just for stock application right now?

I would. I like how these ride. When I first got them put on I could tell the difference right way. Truck was stiffer tighter in turns I felt more planted on the ground a sporty ride. Now if you don't like that kind of feel you won't like them or any mono shock. I have ran a few different shocks on my truck. And out of them all I honestly like these the best. So yes I would.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Also would like to add. Truck sitting this low has never handled so good and tight. Really sporty feeling. Steering is nice and sensitive. I was running up the interstate today just moving along. And could see the wind down force on top of hood lol.

Are you running front and rear sway bars?

Funny you mention Swaybar. The answer is no on the rear. But I have a PB/Addco Swaybar here at the house that won't fit. Due to the angle of the lower tabs on the LCA. Because I am so low. So spoke with Nate which is a top notch guy he said they are about to release the official PB Swaybar one they make in house. So he had me take some angle measurements so he could verify it would work. So I am waiting on that Swaybar. If it won't work then I will be sending this Addco crap back and getting a c notch.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I have a front and rear Belltech kit. Wonder if it'll work. I doubt I'll ever be as low as yours but at least another couple inches in the front.

The rear will work. But not the front. If you get the PB control arms you have to buy PB swaybar. Or you don't run one at all. We all want just a couple more inches right lmao!!

Haha. I was thinking I might know the location of a nice nice grille. But you already spent your $$. That was it.
