Lowering my 67 even more

I have a 5 and 5" drop on my long box 67 with an adjustable trac bar. I haven't noticed any issues with the rear end bottoming out on the axle but wanted to know what my options are to make the rear sit lower. I've heard of people using lowering blocks as well as C-notching the rear frame but I have a full coil drop. I think a 5 - 7" look would be ideal for what I'm after. Any help would be appreciated!

Lowering blocks & the c-notches will get you there.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Lowering my 67 even more

I'm running a 4" 6" drop on my shortbox. Scotts supplied me with a 2" notch kit. I ended up making my own cut out with 1/8" plate and 60 degree bends. about 3" extra clearance. boxed up the frame around it. Seems pretty strong.
