notch question

[wwdd77]

quick back ground. 65 c10, dropping this thing down as far as i can go with a static drop.

Front crossmember has been pancaked 1.5 inches, 2.5 drop sprindles, moved forward 1", LCA moved forward .75 inches, and added a t-bird Rack and Pinion.

I setting up the rear now. the rockers are about 6-7 inches off the ground and level. I'm putting in a 9C1 Rear with its triangulated 4 link and addind coilovers. i need a notch before i can set up the trailing arms.

I don't think i can use a standard bolt in c-notch since it won't have enough travel. I was going to buy a 8" notch weld in kit (for laying frame). the question i have is, can i just not install it a full height and have a 6" notch? i'm just trying to keep the hump in the bed a small as i can since i don't really want to bag it.

Also, aside from the PBfab 300-600 notch kits out there, what else is a good option?

Thanks!

I say go for it. What are they gonna do, cut your hair and send you to sea?

i was more concerned since i was lowering the notch on frame it would mount in a more narrow location apart from each other on the frame rail. there is a bend in the frame (inward), i wasn't sure how much straight section was available (on each side of the notch). To make the notch less tall, will would also make it less wide.

Yes, you can cut the notches down. Check out CAchassisworks or thorbros for a good/cheaper 63-72 notch.

Thanks Gringoloco for the helpful response.

I ordered one up from thorbros this morning, so I am happy to hear they were recommended.
