56 chevy on 56 frame.
I have mustang ll front with 2" dropped spindles and in the back I have a 3' drop TCI leaf setup. the axle is mounted above the leafs with 2" lowering blocks. Never has axle touched the frame, yet I have a C-notch ready to install if it does. From ground to bottom of frame in front is 7.5" and 16.5" in the rear. I 235s on 17" rims all around and will sometimes rub the front going into a sharp driveway ( just a little).

How much gap you have btwn your frame and the axle? Assume you dont have bump stops? What kind of rear end you have?.like I said I have a mid 70s rear end, springs and axle and I've only got 5 inches of gap there with the axle under the springs...
