i need some thought and ideas for my bed please

well ever since i put in the c notches and the blocks under my axles now i have the problem of the rearend hitting the wood floor. Im sure i could just use shorted blocks or adjust the bump stops but i really like the stance my truck has now. What do you guys think of cutting out a small section for the diff to pop thru the few inches it might need? any one else have some ideas?

I've seen a few people do it that way. You could also raise the wood floor a few inches so you wouldn't have a hole in it. It all depends on what you like, and how far you are willing to go. Good luck. John
