Do any of the kits come with measurements or instructions?
Pretty sure you don't need the c-notch unless you exceed 6" in the rear. I dropped the rear 6" and no c-notch. I haven't had any problems. The Hotchkis kit I bought was just springs. I ordered new spring retainers from Brothers or LMC (I cant remember). I am fairly sure the shock relocation kits are required for a good ride. All in all those things were easy to install.

When you start this project you might as well order new ball joints, and new poly bushings since you will be tearing into most of that stuff anyway.
