5/7 drop,wanna go back to factory height

[Dj Wolfe]

I have a mild c notch 5/7 drop, what parts do i need to go back to factory height? Also do i need to keep the c notch in? I talked to a guy and thats what he said to do?

Definitely keep the notch. I can only imagine what would happen if you removed the notch. Lol
Put your stock spindles, springs or control arms, depending on how it's lowered. For the rear, flip the axle back and put your factory hardware back on and new u bolts. Maybe the flip kit hardware would work the same as the factory parts if the axle is in the OEM position?

I have many times considered doing this myself. If I had it all to do over again it would stay stock height. But I have got to say the older I get it is easier to get in and out of lowered =)

YES! For sure!

Or have a piece welded back in the c-notch location. If it were mine & I did this I'd probably go ahead and have them box plate & weld the back side of the frame at the same time. Might be overkill but it'd be insurance.

Do you mind saying why you would want to go back to the stock height? I am considering lowering mine so I am always open to the experience of others about these modifications.

Back to factory ride and comfort. And being able to haul a load again, Being able to not worry about bottom outs, parking lot curb stops, I guess just in general being able to use it as a truck again. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was the cats ass back in the day =)
But age will change your opinion on things.

Got it. Good points and I appreciate the feedback.

No worries, my friend. I'd raise it up to a 2/4 and call it good. These rigs look there best at that. You get that sporty stance, but can haul a load.
