    I am wondering what you used to do the C notch, since it is a fully enclosed frame? I doubt the universal kits would be wide enough. I was thinking of buying a drop off piece of 8" pipe and fabbing my own.

    Thoughts?

    The pipe would be your best bet. I've bought a couple kits and honestly I could make one alot better quality.

    Kinda what I was afraid of. Guess I need to measure the width of the frame.

    That’s way more aggressive than I need. Just adding 3” would probably be enough for a static drop. That looks like a ton of work to a lazy guy….
