What have y'all used to cut the frame for notches on your trucks? Would a 10 amp dewalt angle grinder with a cutoff wheel suffice? After my ordeal with hanger rivets, I don't think my air compressor is fit for metal working duties. Enough scfm and max pressure, but it only kicks back on at 50 or so psi. No bueno.
I know to avoid the djm flat plate notches. Has anyone had durability issues with a mcgaughy's notch? The belltech sandwich notch should be bomb proof, but is $$$. Also, how much travel do you gain over a stock frame. I already have pancake bump stops. Getting 2" or so extra won't really cut it for my application. Thanks.

I just put a belltech bolt in notch in my truck and used a 4-inch angle grinder worked awesome you'll also need a drill to 1/2 chuck would be best

 

I too used an angle grinder with a cutting wheel for my belltech notch install.

 

Djm notch for me. Good notch with great fit. I used a sawzall.

 

Pick up a mcgaughys or belltech. Djm are junk. Be sure to drill the corners before you cut!

 

Sawzall or angle grinder, I can do that. Any measurements for travel increase?

 

You're going to gain the depth of the notch so like 2-3 inches

 

I used a sawzall mcg notch

 

May I ask what is " junk" about the djm notch.

 

heres my belltech vers a DJM docent take a brain surgeon to figure out which one is better
