Good info! My mind was on the 99-up and i wasn't even thinking about his model year. Thanks for giving us the correct info Albert!groundscraper said:DJM 5" flip kit for '73-'87 trucks do not require and do not come with a c-notch......
86sierra said:Iight...that makes it easier. I guess I will just go with the 6" flip and notch it. The only thing I was really worred about, was with the kit it looked like it came with a bolt on notch (which I like) but eventually (and I mean in the distant future) I would like to bag it and get a monster notch, like a 6 or 8" one. I didnt know how i would be able to do that after already notching it, like how would the frame stay in alignment and all when taking off the old notch. But I'm not even going to worry bout it, just gonna go with the 4/6 with the flip. Now what is the best way to go with the front, like what will give me the smoothest ride and best way to go with 4" in the front. I really do appreciate everyone here's help. Thanks Guys!
I wouldn't worry about bolting in a C-notch and then doing a step notch. I had a bolt-in DJM notch on my truck before I did my step notch. :read:86sierra said:Iight...that makes it easier.
