Not sure what the limit is, but this is how mine sits. I don't have a notched frame

4-5" if you plan on using it as a truck.
6" flip if you don't plan on carrying much weight. Otherwise you'll have to notch to tow/haul more than a few hundred pounds.

Consider the ride, my friends truck is lowered with no notch and rides like a buckboard. I’m guessing that’s where the c notch comes into place.

Nope, depends on how he lowered it an what shocks are on it. A flip doesn't require a notch just to cruise around

4/6 you can do without a notch depending on how you plan to use it. Don't buy a kit just get the parts an buy good shocks.

Any off the shelf cast wheel will fit fine. Don't worry about the offset, tire size is more critical unless your paying big money for custom built 3 piece wheels.

We did just the axle flip in the rear and no notch is needed and it rides perfectly fine. A little truck like even.
Front we did 3" spindles and 2" springs. This was a little low for in the front so 1.5" springs were put in to level it out.

AJ, I think your truck looks great the way it sits now IMHO

We are about to do the Westen Chassis 2/4 drop in a week or so, last of the parts ordered in December just arrived last week! We will update y’all

What brand did you go with? Looking just how I want mine to sit.

I was thinking the same thing. That, and it's a long bed. To me, short beds look okay lowered, but long beds, not so much.
