CPP HD c notch or KP step notch

Hi everyone, I have been trolling for long while during the build of my truck and decided it is time join to show you guys my creation and get some others opinions of what I need to do next. i will start by saying the truck is bagged with plates and spindles in the front. The front rides very well and doesn't bottom out or anything like the back does. The back has a spacer above the bag to make install easier and it also has 2 inch blocks. The truck sits almost low enough for me in the back at ride height but there is simply not enough upward travel. haha yeah that means that the axle has hit the frame a couple of times. That does not feel good....I would like the rear to sit at the same height as the front at ride height and also go down to a similar height to the front when dumped. Should i use the CPP HD Cnotch and weld it as well as bolt it or should I use the KP step notch and cut it down to a reasonable height that wouldn't make my bed unusable? The catch is I also haul my quad in the bed on occasion. The quad is around 900 lbs. And the trailer I tow can't weigh much more than a 1000 lbs when I haul it that way.

The first Pic is the truck at ride height and shows that the back needs to come down more. the second pic shows the truck aired out with the quad so you can see what i describe with the weights above. The last pic gives a better idea of the unwanted rake when aired out. Shoot out you opinions of what you think I should do. I am will be installing whatever i decide upon. This is a great forum and I am glad to be a part of it now!
