C-notch without a flip kit - anyone?

Is anyone using a C-notch kit on their truck without a flip kit on the axel? Including a shackel and hanger 4" drop too?
I'm deciding if I need to purchase a flip kit. Currently I have a shackel/hanger combo installed for about 4". Since I'll be adding a 1.5 coil to the 2.5 spindal in the front I want to keep the truck level. So I need at least a 5-6 drop in the rear. I have 4" lowering springs plus the shackel/hanger combo on the truck now. Plan is to notch the frame add the leaf springs and raise the rear shackel for about a 5-6 drop.
Oh, BellTech C-notch kit in the mail!! All I need now is the poly set to complete the full suspension job.

Mike, I was looking at your c-notch kit installation. Even adding the weight of the bed, it looks like there is enough travel without the flip kit. Does it look possible?
