Thanks for the compliment. No there is not a notch and yes I removed the bumpstops. ECE claimed I would have 3" between the frame and the axle tube with this drop. It seems to me that I am closer to 2.5" of clearance. I don't know if my spray-in bedliner adds enough weight for the .5" of difference or not. I have not had any problems with it bottoming out while driving. A friend and I stood on the tailgate and bounced on it to try to see if it would hit. Well after about the third bounce it did. I think if I had enough weight in the back while driving it would hit under the right(wrong) conditions. I may end up installing a C-notch later so I can run a bumpstop or a compression bumpstop. I don't know if I would be better off installing a rear airbag setup to be able to haul loads or take my chances with a notch.
