Looks like the frame is sitting on (or near) the axle out back. Drop blocks won't overcome this interference to get you any lower--you'll need the c-notch for that...

You are correct! Hoping to get my notch installed In the next couple weeks! So putting in blocks at this point won't do or help anything ?

I use lowering blocks to keep the ride height low, with the correct amount of air in the bags.

The blocks also help w/shock travel on trucks using OE placed mounts.

Since the block raises the rear end from its position above the T/A but doesn't alter the location of the shock mounts, you get some additional drop w/o impacting the shocks available travel.
