man those are some serious cracks hope your not driving it still. how big of a notch do u plan on doing ?? whoever does your c notch hope they either cut bad part of frame out n weld notch in or if do a bolt on one weld it in as well for stability

WTF! deff have that notch welded in and have them add some bracing to strengthen the frame and you should be alright.

This happened yesterday and Im not driving it until it's fixed, I also freaked out when i so the damage, I got a warranty for 1 month from the dealer so I have 2 weeks left, I don't know if I should take it back or do the c notch plus some bracing because this was my plan before it broke, I have a feeling the easy fix for the dealer will be weld the cracks and raise the back up.

As for the size of the c notch, I didn't know there was more than one option? I posted the measurements from the ground to the fender lips, let's figure out what kind of drop I have and go from there....

Thanks!

A small notch will just take some of that crack out the rest would need welding or a big notch would remove the crack all together but have to cut part of your bed out which im sure you dont want but it shouldnt be that bad.....id see what dealer says its not like another 150 couldnt be done the same way if it came down to it!
