Title: Axel Flip with No C Notch
Post by: Chevynut73 on August 25, 2023, 03:26:12 pm

Has anyone done an axel flip and didn't do the C Notch ?

This ol Girl is retired and will not be worked anymore (i have 2 more Chevy Trucks for working, hauling, pulling).

Thanks

I did a flip in addition to adding a lowering shackle and I didn't notch. Truck is not going to be hauling anything anymore and I only get the slightest amount of frame contact on severe bumps/potholes I don't see till the last second.

Axle flip and 1" shackles here and no issues so far.  I do not carry anythign in the bed but I still have about 3-4" between the frame and axle.

Thank y'all for the replies!

I decided the axel flip with the 6" drop might be too much/low.

I went with having the leaf springs dearched 4 1/2" and really like the look so far.   It brought the bed down nicely  ;D

Going to drop the front 3 1/2" and that should put the "rake" back in her   ;D
