Time for a c-notch

[Doug118]

With any more than 3/4 tank of gas, the frame actually sits on the panhard bar mount and axle. Obviously I didn’t trim the frame enough to clear the panhard mount on the axle but the frame will be c-notched soon for some actual suspension travel

What is all that white stuff?

Man, I love how your Burb looks.

If you trim more will that alleviate the clearance issue?

What style notch will you be going with?

Snow that I was too lazy to clean off lol I LOVE the way it looks but it rides like absolute dog shit and I keep breaking belts in my tires since they’re pretty much the only sort of suspension I have now

The frame needs more cutting and hammering for the panhard bar

it’s getting a round notch. I bought a 5.5” OD .250 wall pipe to be welded in place

Hahaha, its been few years since I've seen that white stuff around here. Don't miss it

That absolutely sucks. What springs are you using out back? Do you have helpers?

I'm pretty sure I have a piece of DOM 5.5" x 1/2 if you want a little more beef.

It’s a 6” drop spring but there’s about 700lbs in audio in the back so that dropped it another 1”

how wide is the piece of tubing? I was trying to find 1/2” wall but couldn’t find anything smaller than 6.5” OD and that’s too big

THAT looks great. Any plans for upgrading or aftermarket wheels?

I had 24’s on it but the drop requires nothing bigger than a 30.5” tire, which makes the tire very small. I broke one of my wheels the first day I had them on the truck so I went back to 20’s with a 255/50/20, which is a factory Range Rover tire so they’re fairly common and cheap

Ahhh I gotcha. Now I know how to level out mine
Does it take up the majority of the space out back?

How wide do you need it? I can cut it to the desired width
