Here is my 67 with a 2-1/2' and 4" drop and list:

Drop spindles
New standard height springs
New standard length shocks
4" progressive drop springs rear
New drop shocks in rear
Shock relocation kit
Adjustable track arm

For a 4" drop a frame notch is not really required. Above about 5" yes.

My 68 has 2 1/2" drop spindles and -1" springs. Stock KYB monomax front shocks.
Out back it has -4" HD rear springs & 1" blocks, adjustable track bar, trimmed bump stops, cpp shock relocation brackets, stock kyb shocks.
No C notch and it will still haul a full dress Harley.
It actually rides nicer with a bit of a load in the back, that's probably due to the heavy duty rear springs.

On my '72 stepside, I went with 2.5" drop spindles with OEM springs and 3" springs in the rear. All of these are the stock shocks (for now) After seeing some with the extra 1" drop spring up front, I'm still considering adding it, but it rides pretty sweet right now.

Mine with Ridetech Streetgrip system. Love how it drives.
