I will be doing a 2" to 3" c notch to give myself more travel.
Your truck is awesome BTW.

Good plan. I did the same setup in the front - 4" drop axle with 2 springs removed. It sits low, lower than I was suspecting after putting the motor and transmission back in, but I love it. The old man calls it "the squirrel scraper".
As for the rear, I have been playing around with some ideas. I picked up Sid's 3" lowering blocks, but it isn't low enough for me (even when I removed some of the springs). I was debating on sending the leafs out to have them de-arched, but I don't want to notch the frame at this point right now. KustomBrad ran TCI's lowering leaf springs (not too sure if he notched the frame), but I like his stance.
