Ok, I have a question here that I haven't seen.
I have an 89 C1500 that I'm getting ready to lower with DJM's rear flip kit which will make it 6" & then adding the shackle kit to add another 2" to give it a total of 8" lowered in the rear.
My question is since I will have to notch the frame for the flip kit will I have to notch it more since I am adding the shackle kit?

You have to notch the frame for anything dropped 4" or more. You might even have to do some bed modification

Actually, the shackle only adds about 1 1/2" extra. Along with that, it will also screw up your pinion angle, so you will need to run shims. If you run just the regular bolt in notch, you won't even be able to carry a gas can back there without bottoming out.

That's what I was wondering.

You'll be pushing it to go 5-7 on 24s and expect to turn.
