i have the beltech hangers and shackles in the rear to make a 4" drop. i have the short bump stops that came with the kit and i'm sitting an 1" or so above the axle. also running stock shocks all around. when i go to the track, i have to put the stock shackles back on so i don't bottom out and loose momemtum off the line. so with a 4" drop i pretty much need a c-notch.

Damn you do all that to go to the track, f**k that lol, I never had a problem with my old ecsb with the 2-4 drop, I will just go with a 2-4 on this one as well, because i dont want to use coils in the front, so im going with the spindles and leafs.
