Guys with 4/6 5/7 drops

I Just got my C notches today and they don't seem very deep. I got them from CPP but I assume that they are all pretty similar to the same depth. My question is how often does your rear end bottom out on your frame?? Thanks in advance

FWIW, I have a 5" drop and even when hauling heavy loads, I've rarely ever had a problem with bottoming out. Just saying that with even a shallow C notch and a 6 or 7" drop, you shouldn't ever have a problem.

Cool where I live is fairly flat. I have heard how good these trucks ride and it would be cool if I could do that without hammering my frame all the time. If not oh well I would rather be low

The notches are massive. I was surprised at this huge box on my porch
