Add in a softer spring thanks to pulling the overloads and it'll be even less uptravel. You'll need to notch the frame.

Having not done a flip, and with new KYB's on all corners, what kind of travel will be needed/recommended for "normal" (subjective, I know...) driving conditions? Trying to determine, if a notch is needed, just how much should I chop... I know the "kits" already have it built in, but thinking my body guy might be able to take a smaller bite out and box the rails...
