Alright guys I think I am going to end up lowering the truck, not as low as some of you guys though.

Anyways this is the stance I want the truck to have after its all said and done, maybe an inch taller front and back though:



Its not slammed and it appears to still have a little rake to it which is what I like, and with it slightly taller that the one in the pic I should still have enough clearance to head up camping as well..... Now, what all do I need to give my truck that stance?

you'd prolly need a 2/4 drop kit, and just not adjust the rear to the lower setting.

usually when you get a rear flip kit it comes with shackles that are longer, but have 2 or 3 settings. so you can adjust from 2'' 4'' and 6'' of drop in the rear. (some have 2 settings, some have 3) anyways, when you install the shackles, just set it on the highest setting as to reduce the amount of drop you install. for exapmle: if you have 3 holes, top one being 2'' drop from factory, and the bottom one being 6'' drop... youd wanna install the leaf spring end on the top one to get a 2'' drop... from factory

I thought that if you did a rear flip kit that it automatically drops the rear x amount, so would it be 2" beyond that point or would it just be a 2" rear drop?

well a flip automaticly gives you a 4" drop period the lowest you can go with out a flip is the 2" drop shackles and o/l leaf delete unless you do something really ghetto and i know you wouldnt do that....but on the shckles in the flip kit you could go lower if you wish to providing it has slots for it.... but a 2/4 drop is nice and would give a grat stance mike oklahemi has a 3/5 on his....so you 'd be a lil higher.....the shackles may allow for you to be at a 2" drop with the axle flipped if the shackles are longer....had to reiterate...sorry
