The shocks arent bolted in yet but I don't think thatll raise it much if any...and the bed is off so theres another couple hundred pounds like would make it even worse.
Like I stated, flip kits tend to yield 8" of drop on these things (height of the spring pack + pad + 1/2 the OD dimension of the axle tube = drop amount). Get some Bell Tech or Western Chassis 'lift' shackles. They'll help level it out.

I went through the same thing on my OBS (HD 3/4 ton leaf pack & the flip kit). It was ~8" of drop so I added the shorter lift shackles & nailed my desired 5/7 target.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
