Re: what would it take?

With out cutting the rear floor you can only go with a C notch and that will put you low but not real low. What I would do is run porters Dropmember and then step your flor the same amount that your rear seat mount is high. Then bolt the seat right to the floor. That should get you an extra 6"+ in the rear.
Here is a notch I did for a customer that was mesured by first figuring out when the diff would hit the floor then doing a notch to match.
