4" rear drop

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their trucks with 4" rear drops. CPP is recommending a c-notch with a 4" rear drop and I'm not really wanting to do that. Am I safe without one with a 4" rear drop?
Thanks

Re: 4" rear drop

I have a 5" rear drop and didn't require a C-Notch.

Re: 4" rear drop

Can the Cnotch be done without welding? It looks like a cut and bolt on type of thing.

Re: 4" rear drop

I have 4" drop coils in the back of mine. No c-notch, but I would like to do one to have more travel...It bottoms out quite a bit...
