What size drop before having to c-notch

Have a friend that's wanting to lower his silvy and wanted to know how low he can go before he has to c-notch. He wants it low but doesn't want to take away bed space.

Depends on what year the truck is, and if it's a 4x4 on the GMT800 trucks.

Mine is '01 2WD with a 4" drop (2" shackles, 2" hangars) and it bottoms out on speed bumps or other big bumps, but is fine 99% of the time. You do not want to go lower than 4" without a c-notch.
