You should be able to go 4-5" on the leaf suspension without notching. At 5" drop, you will be pretty close on the axle to frame clearance (as far as hauling any heavy loads). My longhorn frame is a little different than a standard longbed, but i have flipped the axle & relocated brackets to give about 5" drop. I have 2 3/4-3" tween the frame & axle......
