They make adjustable hanger kits for the Gen III's. I know I have seen them before. They are out there. I will do some searching tonight when I get home from work.

Yea, I just really don't want to spend the $300 for a set of leaves. Seems excessive to me! :biggthump

you can get a set of hangers and shackle mounts from sporttruckdirect.com for $200 shipped or a lil less, but trust me the leaves are less work.

That is a very very good point. :rant: Making me spend more money I don't have. Oh well, I am hopin one I get the notch that it'll be decent for a while.

go to lowes or home depot and buy some black steel "poop Pipe" in six inch diameter that and four peices of 1/4 inch plate 6 inches x 16 inches long will be all the materials you'll need. The Black pipe will cost @ 12.00 a foot but all you'll need is @ 3 inches of it. Rip the 3 inch section down it's diameter adn you'll have your C's that measure 6 inches across by 3 inches deep. you can fab up some pretty professional looking notches with this method. Welding is best in my opinion too.

Well, That very well could have worked. But I already ordered my Cnotch from SuicideDoors.com :biggthump I was starting to get really pissed off at them. I placed my order on the 8th, hadn't heard anything till yesterday! Oh well, I needed the part by this Friday, and it's supposed to come in on... You guessed it FRIDAY! SCORE! :drive:

Ok cool. Sounds pretty cheap to me, but maybe not.

So did you ever get your c-notch in?
