DSE Frame C-Notch Bracket Kit (040117DS) - 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 with Truck Arms and Rear Coil Springs
Give your lowered 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 the rear axle clearance it needs while reinforcing a critical area of the chassis with the Detroit Speed Frame C-Notch Bracket Kit. Designed specifically for trucks originally equipped with truck arms and rear coil springs, part number 040117DS increases clearance between the rear axle and frame rails as ride height is lowered. Unlike a basic frame notch, Detroit Speed engineered this system to connect with the factory shock mount crossmembers and improve rigidity around the coil spring mounting area.
The frame notch brackets are constructed from heavy-duty 3/16-inch-thick steel and use a 100 percent bolt-on mounting design once the required frame cuts are completed. Detroit Speed includes the C-notch brackets, rear axle bump stops, steel cut template, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. The system is compatible with Detroit Speed Speed Kits as well as QUADRALink rear suspension systems when used on factory coil-spring frame rails, giving builders flexibility for current and future suspension upgrades.
