My 72 was 6" drop in the rear with no notch & no problems.
It was on 15" ralleys though with a pretty tall tire.

Here is one that I just finished bagging for a buddy. It has 2.5" drop spindles and bags in the front, and bags on the stock trailing arms in the rear with no notch.

Looks much better than the cell phone pics. Why no notch?

He likes the rake. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up notching it though

I like some rake, but I wouldn't do one with out a notch.

My 'burb is not notched. Doesn't need it to be low as you can see by the previous pics, but it sure helps with a lower ride hite.
