I personally would just install the flip kit first by itself and see where it sits. Depending on if you have weight back there or not (spare tire, roll pan or bumper, etc...) flip kits don't go as low as you think. If you are not happy with it, then I would install lift shackle at a later date. That's just my $0.02
