12'SROCK Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 You need to do the c-notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akslowroller Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah I did the same drop with an AWD truck and have the same bangin going on. You either have to bite the bullet and notch or do helper bags with low air to help. I'm going bags as I don't want to cut into my frame.

D1SCSS Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Are you sitting on the bump stops? I have to cut mine to help with the ride. Edited August 21, 2014 by D1SCSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Same here but I don't want to c notch because then id have to roll my fenders because I have 305s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 you will need to cut the bump stops and also remove the brackets that the rear bump stops bolt to. then bolt the bump stops directly to the frame. there is holes right above the bump stop bracket that the bump stop will bolt right into. I did this and it worked great. I actually did this to 2 Silverado SS and it worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 It will ride way smoother if guys just did the c-notch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I am running a 3/4 kit on my AWD truck with a 205/35 on a 24 inch wheels with a bumpy ride and it doesn't rub. are you guys trimming your bump stops and also removing the bracket that the rear bump stop bolts to? that will give you another 1 1/2" of room. If not and your sitting on the bump stop thats your issue. The factory rear bump stop is bolted onto a brackets the is held to the frame with 2 bolts. once you remove the bump stop to trim it. unbolt that bracket sand look for a hole in the frame that is already drilled into the frame right where you removed the brackets. you can then bolt your bumps tops right the that after its been trimmed.

shawnss Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 It will ride way smoother if guys just did the c-notch!! Do most guys that run a 4" drop go with a C-notch? I didn't know just a c-notch would help with ride quality? a c-notch doesn't change your rear leaf spring or shock location does it? Doesn't a c-notch just allow you to drop your truck more?

12'SROCK Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Most guys with 4" drop do the c-notch. It channels the frame allowing for more suspension travel that way you dont bottom out. Herd is a pic of mine when I did it. Makes a world of difference!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 in rear notch i deal with both belltech and djm. Belltech actually boxes in the frame to make it stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I took my bump stops off on my 2/4, and went with Energy Suspension bump stops. It got a lot better, but still bottoms out from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
