LV, how well do those bags hold air? How often do you have to adjust them?
I am looking into notching my frame as well, but I'm just going to use a standard bolt in notch. In the process of figuring things out, I determined that under normal driving conditions I have 2.5" of travel in the rear. My drop springs (like pretty much all of them) aren't really meant for hauling stuff so even a couple hundred pounds puts me on the bump stops.
