79 LWB C-10 Big 10 axle flip ???

I am wanting to lower my 79 C-10. It is a Big 10, so it has 8 springs per side. How far is it going to lower the rear? 5 or 6?

My biggest concern. Would I have to notch the frame? It being a heavy half, I wondered if I would get away with it? Anyone done this to a heavy half before?

What about up front, if I did a 5 and 5 drop, what would be best up front?
3" spindles and cut springs? lowering springs?

I have had this truck 10 years, and it has sat like a 3/4 ton to long LOL! It already sits 2" higher than my brothers standard 1/2 ton 77.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Brad
