Right now i anticipate it to be about 1.5 to 2 inches from the top of the C-Notch. I have bump stops that i think i can cut at a height that i want. My assumption is 2" at this point.

So.... You basically want the top of the axle tube to be at or very near the bottom of the original frame rail lip @ ride height?
Are you using the same size bags front & rear?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I would say that is close to where it would, yes.
At that point the bags are really deflated. fully deflated is with the top of the axle tube about 1" away from the top of the C-Notch. This would be sitting height, not driving height typically, maybe i should say not cruising height. Cruising height can be adjusted to what is comfortable.

The Bags are exactly the same size.
