I have a very similar C notch as he shows on his build thread. My truck already had a bad sub frame hack job when I bought it so i just cut it off and corrected the issues before welding it back on. The front wasnt low enough for me so I cut the bottom of the spring pockets out and extended them lower. When it is laid out it, the lower A frame touches the frame minus a very thin bump stop. I used slam specialities RE8 bags up front. I bought the shorter (I believe 54 inch end to end) s10 disc brake rearend including the leaf springs. I fabricated some brackets to mount the leafs to the frame. RE6 bags out back. Again a lot of man hours in that and the 4 link would have been much nicer and hours considered, cheaper.

Thanks For the info. I have a 4-link w/air and c-notched frame. Originally I wasn't sure if it would allow me to go as low as I wanted. But from the sounds of yours, it will be just right.
