Those coils don't look like drop springs. At least not for our trucks. You may be able to use that notch, MAY.
As far as moving the spring hangers up...just drill out your factory rivets and move it up x" to the desired position. Then re attach with grade 8 hardware. Keith Seymore and a few others have done this mod. It is alot of work to get those rivets drilled out and then to drill the frame for new hardware. And as said, that is rarely enough drop for most people. If you are thinking of a flip, just flip it.
