howd you drop the rear?

Looking for ideas to drop the rear of my homies 66 gmc suburban. Jts a gmc so it had leaf srpring rear. Not much room between the axle and the frame. Wondering what you guys did? Axle flip? C notch? Tryin to get it down without having to notch . How much can it be dropped without a c notch? Thanks for any help guys

The only way to drop it and maintain original ride and frame is with drop-leaf springs. Most of the parts places have them. If it is a hot rod then C-notch.

I want to drop my sub 3" only in the back. I have the coils, so would I need to replace the shocks as well as the coils?
