The c-notch is only going to provide clearance for the axle after it is dropped... It has nothing to do with the drop itself. As far as the flip goes, it should give you about 5.5". The nice thing about flipping the axle is that you are not changing the function of the rear suspension at all. You are merely taking the axle from the bottom of the spring and putting it on top. You will, however, need to make sure you get your pinion angles right and you will need a set of shorter shocks.
