Phoenix Kustoms 7.5" Step C-Notch - 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500

Need serious axle clearance for a big rear drop? The Phoenix Kustoms 7.5" Step C-Notch is a precision-built step notch designed to fit under your 1988-1998 Chevy or GMC Silverado/Sierra C1500's bed, giving your rear axle the travel room it needs when you're running an aggressive static drop or a bagged air suspension setup. If your rear end is dropping low enough to be knocking on your frame rails, this is the notch that solves it.

Phoenix Kustoms fabricates this notch from quality plate steel with gussets designed for proper weld overlap, so your finished weld is strong and can be ground smooth for a clean, professional look once painted or coated. This is a real fabrication piece from a shop that specializes in high-end metal fab and performance suspension, not a stamped bargain-bin bracket.

Because aggressive drops eventually run into shock clearance problems at full compression, Phoenix Kustoms also offers an optional Shock Relocation Kit for this notch. Adding it now, during your initial notch install, saves you from a second fabrication session down the road when your factory shock mounts run out of travel.

Fits: Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra C1500, 1988-1998.

Notes: Requires welding and bed removal for proper installation. Great for static drops and air suspension applications alike.

Budget for a real fabrication day with this one: bed removal, frame prep, and clean welds. But if you're serious about getting your OBS truck as low as it can possibly go, this is exactly the quality notch to back up that build. Choose whether you want the Shock Relocation Kit added at checkout.
