[QUOTE="Soul Rebel, post: 2609206, member: 22013"] To answer the question, what is a c-notch..."A C-notch actually removes part of the frame just above the rear axle. It is then reinforced with whatever C-notch kit you get. What this does is allow the rear to come up past where the frame used to be allowing more suspension travel. Also, you bottom out pretty bad without it. The shorter the sidewall, to an extent, the better the handling. But, the shorter you go, the firmer or even harder the ride. You can get faster 60' times, but overall, the top end is lost because the tires are shorter. The 255/50's are 3 1/2 inches shorter than the stock 275/60. That is a difference of 10% on the speedo as well as the odometer! Also, the engine runs at a little higher RPM at cruising speed. Therefore, your gas milage suffers a little."
