Hello, New to forum. Have a 2000 Safari Rwd and was going to go with Belltech spindles and Belltech lowering leafs. Going with chassis tech Bolt in C notch. Will bolting in in be OK?Anyone done this? Thanks

The Belltech 3" drop springs should not need the c-notch. The axle will remain below the springs.
Only with the 6" flip kit which places the axle above the springs would the c-notch be required.

Thanks for reply but even if the Rear is still under leafs wouldn't you still loose 3" of travel to the bumpstops.

 

[MI_Ghost]

Correct. The c-notch provides clearance for the axle tubes not the bump stops. Shorter bump stops are used when lowering the rear.

Thanks for your Help Ghost!

So still is it safe to just bolt on I wanna just do the axle flip

If an astro had a frame it might be. They don't, we are unibody.

Not sure about that kit, but as it's a unibody frame rail as stated above, might need some reinforcement of the channel.
Has it been done? Sure has:
