In addition to shorter shocks you will also need to relocate the rear shock upper mounting position. Check out this thread: Upper Shock Relocation 1963 through 1972

For pictures check out this link: Static Drop Photo and Data Thread

And, FYI, if you look at the Static Drop thread you will notice a lot of guys are running 5" rear drop springs and did not c-notch their frame. That's likely because they removed the stock rear bumpstops. That's what I did.

Good luck!
