Little problem..... the notch kit isn't the right size..... the sides are good.... but the top and bottom are WAY off.... the top piece is only 2 inches wide, and the stock frame is 2.5 inches wide.... so yeah that's not gonna work... and the bottom piece is about 2 7/8 inches wide so it will over hang by about an 1/8 (that's workable... but the top basically stops me dead in my tracks.... tried calling brain, but hes gone for the weekend, so I'm gonna have to figure something out on Monday when brain get back

That blows, but maybe that is a good thing. I was thinking about this more last night. What if you build the rear frame on a level floor or table before you cut anything on the frame. Then you can level out the rear end and just cut off the back of the frame after you weld on the front part of the notches. That way you don't have to try and square it up and level it out in mid air 1 piece at a time. Just remember that everything happens for a good reason, so you were supposed to get the wrong notch the first time. Even if it sucks. -Ed

naw they only fit on way... Brian e-mailed me back and said he'd get in touch with me on Tues. and we'll figure something out... I'm ordering my 4 link, bags, front brackets, air line, valves, and tank on Tues as well, so I'm just gonna see if he can send me new upper parts of the notch, and ill send him the small ones back... its all good for now... got a lot done today check my build thread.

dont forget to periodically check while you welding it ....during breaks the metal contraction will shift things around... go ahead ask me how i know...all I can say about that is shims...
