C Notch versus Underbed Notch for a 7" rear drop.

[RQ Jay]

At a small crossroads in my drop.
I have a Belltech 4/6 drop kit with SP shocks, and am contemplating doing the 5/7 drop while I am at it anyway.
I am not sure if I should just skip the Belltech supplied C-Notch and consider putting in a Underbed style Notch instead?
Curious if anyone has experience with the standard notch in a 7" drop?
Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks

I am going 7" in the rear too and went with the under bed step notch from REACT... no need to cut the bed and gives more travel room than a standard notch. Allows 4.75" more over a un-notched frame 2-2.5" more room over most other notches. Never have to worry, even if you are carrying a load.

I’m at 7” with the Ridetech notch, no issues.

I had a regular notch on 3 of the 4 OBS cclbd trucks, never had a bed issue. The other one is my current bagged dually. It's got a monster notch and the bed is cut to ****. Winter project will be redoing the notch, bag setup and bed.

@bobby v is a good person to ask about the bed notch. I know from other threads that he did that to his.
