Are you going to notch it?

The front will probably stay where it is since I hit the front bumper at least 3 times a day. The rear I’ll cut the springs until I get it sitting level with the front. It’s going to stay static. No bags anytime soon

Hahaha, I hear that. I hit mine so much, it moved. Not sure if I bent a mounting point or what.
Oh ok cool. Wasn't sure if you were going with a custom link set or what. I'm a static guy too. Though I wouldn't mind some shockwaves, slick design and compact.

Yes I plan to notch it. I just cut the crossmember where the panhard bar mount on the rear end hit. It rides 1000x better

How are you going to go about notching it?
Are you planning on cutting into the rear floor section?

Nope I'm just cutting a 5" pipe in half and welding the half-moon shape into the frame so the rear end sits up in it. I was going to do a mini notch under the body but I really don't want to get into cutting the whole frame like that. I wanted to bag and body it over the winter but I think I'll just buy an older C30 dually to do that to and keep this truck a comfortable and practical daily driver

Be mindful of how much slack is left in your driveshaft when that low. You may need to adjust the axle back some, which, of course, would change where your notch goes.

That's probably the easiest route to go. I believe any other method you'd have to lift the body off if you wanted to use a super c or boxed frame notch.
I like the C30 idea. I'm on the hunt for either a Fox body Coupe or 2500 or 3500 12v Cummins 5/6 speed to play with.

With the adjustable links, he should be able to cycle his suspension all the way through and see where his notch will be.
That and he'll be able to center it up as well.

I didn't know he had the adjustable links.
