w/ that much of a drop there wont be any suspension travel in the back would there? and if i were to put that bolt in c-notch kit i would have to cut a hole in the bed wouldnt I?

Most of the companies that sell those bolt on notches also sell a shock relocator kit which relocates the lowered shocks to optimum shock travel. Classic Performance Parts sells them for $60. The bolt in c notches don't require any cutting of the bed just a few inches of the chassis.

Hope this helps

Been runing the Early classics 6 inch rear drop kit for about a year. Just trimed the bump stops. Have about 2 inches of travel. Added air products air bags so I can still hall stuff. Only bottoms out on the big bumps. Take the bed off to do the install.

I went with a 4/5 instead of 4/6. I don't care for the leveled look. I like the factory rake. The 5" will give you another inch too. I have not bottomed out yet. I haven't hauled anything heavier than some furniture though...
