How much drop can you go before you need c notch?

[Luckychucky]

i just bought a 98 2wd 2d and am wanting to lower it. My plan is to run 20" or 22" wheels with a small drop? Would a 2/4 drop require a c notch?

My goal In the end is to just have a mild drop with aforementioned size wheels. Trying not to sacrifice ride quality too bad and eliminate too much wheel/fender gap. Thanks in advance

From the research I've done , you should be good with a 2/4 drop with out a c-notch.. Anything more than 5.5 in the rear needs the notch , even the 5.5inch drop might bottom out on the axle with a decent bump

The only thing I did was remove the bumpstops. Not just the rubber but the entire bracket. I had dropped leafs and was running 20sat the time
