looks like they made a c-notch for those of us NNBS owners that need em. I dont know if anybody has seen this or not. I'm just making it known. If I'm too late, oh well.

Why would anyone go through the trouble of c-notching the frame, and only do 2.5" Why not go 4", 5" or 6". Sorry, lol, it's too early to be awake

well since most people can lower at 7" in the rear without having to notch is a helluva deal anyways. 2.5" might be all you need with a rear 8-10" drop. Maybe some advice from 08slammedrcsb on a rear 2.5" notch because of the super slammed stance.

I know what you mean. I like the fact you can take these trucks further with a drop without having to notch you frame, etc.

i don't know what the mcgay's notch cost but i welded in a 88-98 bolt in notch and turned out perfect and the bolt in's are usually thicker metal so a welded in bolt in notch is the way to go i probably go about 3.5-4 inches out of it and the 88-98 has to be cheaper
