Default Step notch

I'm looking to regain some ride quality out of my truck, it bottoms out like crazy on pretty small dips or rail road tracks, it's an 05 RCSB, right not I have it lowered 3 inches in the fronts, belltech 3 inch drop coils, and a flip kit and overloads removed out back. Truck rides like complete ***, belltech street performance shocks all around. I believe the axle is hitting the c notch, so I was wondering how big of a step notch I could go without cutting into and notching the bed floor and hopefully get some ride quality back, and still be able to hook up at the track if need be. I know c notch isn't the best for track but it is what it is. Also have assassin bars to go on but I want to keep it from banging frame every dip I hit first, any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Try spindles upfront. I have mine dropped with 2508 spindles and trimmed stock springs for about an inch or two more. Ouback I have a flip kit and 2 inch drop shackles and a beltech C-notch and I love how it rides man. I honestly like it better than stock

Just get a bolt in notch. Anything more and the pumpkin will hit the bed floor, even after notching the bed support.

I have purchased some 2 inch drop spindles for the just haven't installed them yet put will get the spacers to make the could a 2 inch drop when I do. The rear already is c notched welded. I'll need to just cut the bed support and see if that helps.
