Air ride frame question?

I don't know if this is the proper place for this question but I have a 1965 c10 short box. My question is if am going to run air ride and am going too cnotch the frame. Is a small cnotch the way to go with air bags on the trailing arms. Or go with a cnotch with a bridge and bags over axle? I am looking to run a motor with around 400 to 500 hp and am somewhat worried about stregth. What do you guys recommend?

With mine the company said the cnotch is heavy duty. If your going too do burnouts and have a 600 hp motor then you should weld it.
