Default Lowered 2014 Z71 single cab question

Guys I’ve used mcgaughys lowering kits on, a 11,13,14 and never had to notch any of them, sorry flip kit installed on all of’em, now this reg cab 14 Z71 that I flipped is banging the frame like hell with the bump stop brackets even cut, now it still has the factory shocks ( just got my lowering shock’s yesterday and have’s installed), are the Z71 springs a different arch, what am I missing, Thanks!

Nothing really missing much. A flip kit basically always requires a c-notch on a 2014+ truck.

Anything more than 4in and you are out of room.

shocks were the problem, still had the old ones on it, it's good now, FFDP thanks for the input but I've had five 2011 to 14 trucks and never notched one and never had one bottom out now the older ones oh yes! THANKS!
