Did it with the just the wheels removed and the axle & bed still on the truck. Didn't take long just used 4 jack stands on the frame two in front of axle & two behind axle.

Re: c notch dificulty

Not sure if you guys are still on the cnotch subjest but it all depends what cnotch you buy...some cnotches you have to remove the bed some not. The cnotch itself is very simple to do. Grinder, cutoff wheel, really good half inch drillbit and you'll be fine.
