I don't know if I'm all on my own here, But I have a 6" DJM flip kit and after I Instaleld the Notch and driving around for alomost a week, I noticed that I have a dent on the bottom crossrail of my bed above the Pumpkin. I noticed that I have mosre Clearance from the axle to the pancake bumpstops than I do straight up from the Diff to the bed..

Is this normal on an NBS?

My obs did this on the 8" drop. Trim the bed support. I trimmed mine, and never had a problem.

Yeah, try running around with an 8" drop...


We cut a notch out of the crossmember and now it has plenty of room to go up and down

 

[03rado]

wonder if I'm gonna have this problem when I do my notch

When I had a 7" drop out back, I had that problem too, but not frequenty. I'd get some nice stiff shocks.

 

[03rado]

will DT shocks be stiff enough to keep it from doing that

My Belltech flipkit came with a notched crossmember to replace the member above the pumpkin...

I've also installed a set of Airlift helper bags to reduce bottoming out.

I installed a 7" step notch to reduce bottoming out. heh

Stiffer shocks?... I have Brand New DT shocks all around... it still hits....


I am sure that when I notch the Bed Cross rail, it won't happen anymore.. It's just slightly less clearance than from my axle to bumpstop how it is.... it doesnt hit all that much.

just notch your bed brace and you should be cool.
