I am going this route with my '87 LWB soon, cept i am not gonna go too low. I have a flip kit installed already and have about 2 inchs from the axle to the aftermarket bumpstops. I don't think i'm even gonna install the c-notch. I think i'll just remove one or two leafs so i can lay it out more when parked. That would give me approx 8" s of drop. I know LOTS of local guys who have lowered their rides via AOL, exactly like N2TRUX, and never had any problems. Like N2TRUX stated you would want to keep at least 2 leafs, which provides latteral stabillity. I ran with a static 11 - 12" drop in the rear of my '87 SWB for a few years and it drove fine, well, actually better than stock. I had no bags at that time mind you, but if anything that would create less wheel hop. The pinion angle gets pretty extreme going that low with leafs, but i never did have any problems.
