Hey Chris, yes, it is C-notched. The rear suspension is really simple at the moment. I've owned this truck for 25 years and when I originally lowered it the only company making drop springs was a lowrider company out Cali called Chrisholm, hell, I even had to make the drop block to get to 6".

Anyway, the rear suspension in all it's glory.

4" Chrisholm drop springs
2" homemade blocks
ECE shock re-locater kit - from when they first made them.
CPP pan bar - stock location
Beltech Nitrodrop shocks
CCP C-notch kit

That it, and I chase down some crazy new AWD with it.

This will be getting replaced moving forward as it's heavily taxed on my race days - this year was just sorting out if I liked autoXing/track days or not.

NC John, the video is 2 laps of the DDT track, however, yes - the monster track at Mosport is on my list to hit next year. My truck is way too fast, and way under suspensioned (new word) for those kind of speeds. I was even holding back on the DDT (Driver Development Track) to keep the paint side up.
