This is a welded installation, not a bolt-on part, and requires proper welding equipment and experience, or professional installation at a shop comfortable with structural frame modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is typically paired with a rear axle flip kit as part of a complete aggressive rear drop build - the flip kit gets you most of your drop, and the C-notch provides the remaining clearance needed to avoid contact at full compression. Skipping the notch when your drop requires it risks frame damage or a dangerously limited range of suspension travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven the structural nature of this modification, we recommend professional installation if you're not experienced with frame welding and reinforcement work. Done correctly, a C-notch is a permanent, safe way to unlock additional rear drop clearance on a heavy-duty OBS build.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belltech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145152172192,"sku":"BT-C2500-2WD-CNOTCH","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/bt_6911_001_640_212__65780.1582990346.jpg?v=1783269982","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/belltech-2wd-rear-frame-c-notch-1990-1999-chevy-gmc-c2500","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
