I used the djm 3/5 kit on my 98 rc. I used the bumpstops that came with the kit. No problems with it hitting and no scraping noises...no c-notch

Right now I'm still running on stock 235/75-15. I'm planning on moving up to 18's with 255/55-18. In my opinion the trick with daks is to try to maintain the same outside tire diameter. The 255 55 does that. That way you stay out of trouble with the front fender clearance. I know I could fit 20's but for my taste thats too much wheel and not enough tire.

But he's talkin' about an R/T. The difference in axle diam. prevents dropping that far w/o a 'c' notch. You can't get away with just removing the bump stops, the diff will sit on the frame rails at about 3-1/2 drop in the rear.
