Go 6 inches from the end of the frame and put your first dimple or notch the measure 6 more inches and put your second one the first one should be deeper os it rolls there first

Everybody has their own way of doing things. I personally would never notch a frame just dimple it.

I go a quarter of the way down or less on the frame when notching, my trunk rolls perfect. I have heard slicing the frame will give you the same result but haven't tried it.

I double dimple and make sure you go deep enough or it does not work its all called geometry boys and girls if its done right it will work correctly. If you don't understand it just notch it or slice it so it just blows straight up into your back window and think you did something.

i just cut a 1 inch square out the top of the frame right above the bolt were the shocks bolt to the frame....rolls perfect every time....only downfall with dimpling is if ur hitting hard the humps tend to blow easier than a notch...if u notch DO NOT CUT ON THE SIDE OF THE FRAME AT ALL!!!!!!!! the frame will tear and rip off

I cut a notch just in front of the steering gear box. Works every time.

Daylan we can run hump plates and if you dimple deep enough it will work on a non hump plated car.

You can push the floors up or leave them. Prefer to push them up but rules state trunk must be so many inches from trunk floor.
