Default C-notch suggestions

I'm looking to make a purchase on a Cnotch for my 01 stepside here in a few weeks. What brands are people having great result's with? Bolt on Cnotch is my most likely choice. I was thinking Mcgaughys or Belltech? Any advice or experiences would be awesome!

I've always liked Belltech stuff. Their c-notch's have always fit good. They are bolt in, but you can weld in if you want.

Nice feed back! Like Belltech stuff too but it is double the price I'm seeing compared too the Mcgaughys. Wondering if the construction of the notches is that much different. ��

I've had a McGaughy's on my '04 for 12 years now, no issues at all.

I have the DJM c-notch. It gives you the ability to adjust the pinion angle without using shims.

It's the only one that does. You can bolt it in and/or weld it.

Belltech or McGaughys, I've used McGs on 3 different trucks. Stay away from DJM, they are cheap for a reason

While I respect people's opinion, I've had mine on for almost 3 years without an issue.

He's probably referring to the flip kit, the notch has zero adjustment for pinion angle
