Yes, I think you will find the weight of the body will set it down farther than you think(been there). I would set the body back on(when you have it ready), & just dont bolt the box......if you need the notch, or decide its too low as compaired to the front drop, you can lift the box off & modify as needed. The frame is shaped a little different on my longhorn, so you may see different (more clearance) thn I had. My setup runs 4 leafs,flip, & due to front height, the back was too low after the flip. I moved the spring hanger brackets down on the rails to lift the rear back up a (approx1 1/4"), & hav 2 3/4" clearance tween the axle & frame......no notch, & no bumpstops. The rear is a 5" drop, & the front is 1 ring off the coils...2 1/2-3" drop. Good luck,crazyL
