I had to notch it to clear my panhard bar.

Just got under the truck to look at it again and looks like the panhard bar is hitting the frame now so I’ll have to cut that corner off. I haven’t really taken a good look at it since it was notched. Didn’t realize how much of an angle the panhard bar is lol (Yes I know my diff is leaking)A912BDD8-0C7D-4F8C-A959-7CFDD8BB74B0.jpeg91FF7B0D-E9EE-4129-9667-3C545A65BD1C.jpeg

It’s been a huge struggle to find someone to notch my frame locally but it finally happened. There was a lot more involved than just cutting for the notch. The brackets on the rear end that hit the factory bump stops had to be cut off the rear end, the frame had to be cut for the panhard bar, frame notched, and the exhaust is not hitting the axle so that’ll have to be addressed

I can’t even begin to explain the ride quality difference now. Huge shoutout to @992dr for sending me some insanely beefy notches

Wow that looks good. I like that stance. If you don't go 26s what is the other wheel size that you are considering? Looks great!

honestly at this height and stock wheel wells, there isn’t any other wheel size worth running because the tires have to be so small
