dropping an 88 toyota truck

If I drop the front with spindles and tighten torsions for a 3" drop and 4" in the rear will I have to C notch the rear? If so can I do a 3" drop wtihout a C nothch Also can I use the stock shocks with that drop, or do I need lowered shocks? Thanks for the help

first, you loosen the torsions, and in the back i can't remember very well since it's been a LONG time since i've been static dropped, but i think if you unbolt & remove the bumpstop you'll be fine. do the same with the front. i also think with that small of a drop your shocks will be ok, but don't quote me on it. hell, just try it & if the axle hits the frame, than buy the 3 " blocks (they're only about $10-15 anyway. or you could cut some 2x4's just to see the clearance but DON'T drive on them. cut a 4" & a 3" and have someone jump in the bed & see.
good luck!
