what size notch?

At what point is a step notch needed versus the traditional C-notch? What I mean is, what else do you need to do to your rear suspension to warrant the extra axle(really frame) movement a step notch provides? A 4 link maybe?

What I'm getting at is if I want to run bags in place of coils with a 2" drop block, will I need more than a c-notch?

If I do a 4-link, is say a 8" step notch a definate?

I know wheel size is a factor so FYI, I want to run 20's.

I kind of asked this in another post, but I would like to start another dedicated to this subject.

To take the question one step further, say I do need something more than a c-notch. Am I looking at some custom fabrication for the notch or is there something I can buy. I know Suicidedoors has the weld in 8" notch, but that doesn't really take into consideration the bend in our frames right above the axle right? So the SD kit would need to be modified to fit the curve??

thanks for any knowledge you can drop (pun intended!)
