I didn't have to notch my bed supports, I've had them on for a couple weeks now.
The shackle will contact the bed support as it goes up and down on the lift (2 post) but once it's on the ground it no longer contacts the support.

Did you get vibrations with this kit? Some of the kits come with shims for the rear end to make the angle correct.
I have the same truck and I installed the Max Trac 411420 and got exactly 2 inches of drop.

I contacted Max Trac before ordering the shackles and specifically asked if I would need shims.
I was told that some trucks may need them and others not.

The Ford Performance (Ground Force makes them) come with shims for the vibration issues.
I feel a little vibration between 20-25 miles per hour when slowing down, but I don't notice it when accelerating.
