Street Edge Rear Frame C-Notch - 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500

Running a serious rear drop and need extra axle clearance? The Street Edge Rear Frame C-Notch (Part# 708003) is a precision-built notch designed to give your 1988-1998 Chevy or GMC C1500's rear axle the travel room it needs once you've dropped the truck low enough to run out of factory frame clearance. This is the part that keeps your axle housing from smashing into your frame rails at full compression once you've committed to a serious static drop.

Street Edge builds this notch from quality steel with clean, precise contours designed to match your factory frame rail shape, so your welds go in clean and the finished product looks like it left the factory that way. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense part that does exactly one job extremely well: buying you the clearance your dropped rear end needs.

This notch pairs perfectly with any of our rear axle flip kits, drop shackles, or de-arched leaf spring setups. If you're planning a serious static drop and haven't budgeted for a frame notch yet, this is the part that keeps your build from bottoming out your axle housing into sheet metal every time you hit a dip.

Fits: Chevrolet C1500 Silverado, 1988-1998.

Notes: Requires welding for proper installation. Recommended for static drops that reduce rear axle-to-frame clearance below stock spec.

Plan for a fabrication afternoon with this one, not a quick bolt-on job, but the payoff is a rear end that can actually travel through its full range without hammering your frame. Combine it with your drop kit of choice for a complete, clearance-correct rear suspension build.
