yah thats what i want to do...
the 3" drop in front (upper and lower arms)
and only the 3" block in the rear...
i think it looks better that way, plus im a bit iffy about cutting into my frame

how much clearance do you have from the ground to the body kit?
i dont mind driving like im on egg shells, but i have a pretty good incline for my drive way..
and to deal with that everyday would suck

Unless hes got helper bags I don't even see how it fits...has to ride really really bad when it hits bump. Notch your frame...I don't get what the big deal is. The notch is thicker then the frame anyway...

Thanks bro!

Yea I didn't want to cut into the frame either. Didn't want to take the chance of messing up or weakening the frame. I didn't measure the clearance but I make it over my drive way and speed bumps. I can't park over curbs for the front but the rears clear to a certain point.

Yea, thats gonna be HARSH!

It is pretty harsh but a buddy of mine did an experiment on his by removing one or two leave spring out of his truck and it actually rides smoother. I'm going to try that this weekend and will let you know how it goes.

exactly... and i figured i would be able to at least reverse park to certain point with out that notch... thats a positve...

can anyone tell me what is the point of the notch, if the kit comes with 3" or 4" blocks?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a c-notch is suppose to give your axles room to recoil over bumps to reduce ride roughness.
