Hey guys, i have an 87 pickup and i want to c notch it, its already on 5 inch blocks and i want to go lower, do u guys know any good brand/company to use?
Il suggest doing a mini notch that way you dont have to cut into the bed. Its going to be a universal thing, not many direct fit kits out there. Found a few on ebay for less than $70. are you on IG?
I good way to do a mini notch is to get pipe with the radius you want and cut it in half. Then cut the frame for the pipe and reinforce. Brace the fuck out of it before you cut the frame and pull your measurements for reference. That type of notch it more acceptable to tweaking the frame when working because you cut a lot out. Unlike a full step notch that can be welding piece by piece to keep from tweaking.
Just throwing it out there a mini notch will be weaker the stock. Some engineer ran the numbers in a computer program. Make sure you box in/reinforce. If you do just a pipe it will be about 70% weaker. The step notch is the best way to not lose any integrity of the frame.
