install a small 3"notch

you can do a small notch, or if you plan on bagging it, just put a full notch in, but youll have to cut out the bed for the notches until then.. soo ur best bet would to probably install a small notch like sosa said.

Get a 5" diameter section of pipe and cut it into a C shape. Cut your frame above the axle and weld each half of the C into the frame where you cut. That'll give you an extra 2-3" of travel.

My truck bottoms out if I put a case of beer in the bed. I need a C notch baaaad.

hm thts wierd, cuz i have dropped spindles on my truck, and im also bagged, and i have no clearence issues what so ever.. uhmm other then rolling the lip, im not sure. Maybe you could take the drop spindles out, and try flipping the ball joints :

I had spindles with Eskies and they rubbed. I cut my fender lip out, but also ran 4x4 fenders. Rubbed at full lock after that.
