In the near future the total rear drop of my truck will be ~4.5". So id like to c-notch the frame for added suspension travel. truck is a '90 f150 regular cab long bed. Does anyone know where I can buy one? only ones I've found come in the belltech flip kits.

 

Most likely will have to be a custom built one. There's not allot of aftermarket support for lowering these trucks. (Not when compared to the number of lift kits there are out there anyway)

 

I have always built my own but I did buy some for my Dodge deal a couple years ago.

Any tips on building my own? I have access to a grinder and a welder so I think I can do it but not sure on the material

I couldn't resist

 

I mostly use 1/4" plate. Make a template out of cardboard, make sure it's what you need and cut it out with a cut-off wheel.

Google C-notch and you should find lots of pix.

If you don't have a lot of fab experience it may be best to but a kit.

 

You're a smartass. I like you.

 

All in good natured fun.

 

Cool thanks. What do you do for the bump stop on your custom c-notches?

also rla2005 that was pretty nifty

 

I know, right? It is SO hard to look things up on the internet

 

Here's a few pics of mine. I mounted small bump stops at the top of the notch.

 

those look great Briansshop. What kind of paint did you use on your frame?

 

Thanks. The paint is Satin Black Rustoleum, spray bomb.
