mini notches or u can use 3-5 round stock pipe and cut it into two half's and cut ur frame and mount them in there but leave a some meat on the frame for structure but ur shocks will have to be a mad angle for them to compress and lengthen ...that should get u goin

had a good friend that ran a pipe notch like hulk said. he also ran a piece of 1 inch stock on top of the frame to give it some more strength. he had a mono leaf setup with air shocks and it would lay out on 16in 300zx wheels with adapters.
