Re: rear suspension
You wouldn't need to notch the frame for either the 5'' or 6'' rear drop. There's nothing wrong with getting 6'' with a 5'' spring and 1'' block. The other items you'll need will be shock relocators and a super track bar kit for the 6'' or an adjustable bar for the 5''.

Re: rear suspension
How much are you planning on dropping the front? Is it drum or disc? If it's drum are you planning on converting? I'm assuming since you want to see longbed pics that's what your truck is, 3/5 kits look good on them, plus you get 1'' extra travel than with the 6''.
