If using coils i would get some Eibach or Hotchkis, they will ride the best IMO.

how often do you bottom out in the rear ( differential housing to frame)?

this is good news

Yea i do have a notch with the 4/6! i dont bottom out.
axle to frame is where you will bottom out. If you have good shocks you shouldnt bottom out.

a notch isnt bad trust me! i was skeptical at first but you have nothing to worry about if you do install one.

i didnt have a notch with the 3/5! But the bitch was so stiff i didnt need one lol.
