A 'c-notch' doesn't mandate:
complete disection of the frame rails
removal of suspension pieces
removal of sheetmetal (depending on the year of the vehicle)
additional fabrication because of the notch

I belive he was tlaking about a 8 peice step notch.


and yahoo can put in a 2" C

"complete disection of the frame rails"
yes you do. if thier is any other way of doing let me know.cuz evry time I go to put in a 8" notch on a 4" frame it ends up cut in half



"removal of suspension pieces"

hmm..... unless your just doing bag over leaf you usally take ot the alxe and leafs. and if you ARE installing a rear notch your usually changeing somthing.
blocks/4link/taking out leafs.

"removal of sheetmetal (depending on the year of the vehicle)"


I dont know what your working on but on EVRY truck its 100% easyer to work ont he rear with out the bed on. and its usually harder to get the bed off then it is the front clip.

andf what about the gas tank in the rear? I allwaysd take out the gas tank. I have never liked the idea of welding around a tank.



"additional fabrication because of the notch"


evry time I have ever done a notch. I have allways boxed the frame/bag brackets/ shock relocating. or some other fabricating of that efect.

cutting hole int he bed floor/brake line rerouting/wire rerout/exast
