Default Z71 silverado 4/7 drop parts confusion

So, I have myself confused...done a lot of reading here and it seems straight forward.
However, when I go to purchase parts, the flip kit will not come up for 4wd trucks...only the RWD.

Does this mean the rear of the 4wd is different some how...because I have been under both, and there seems to be no difference...aside from driveshaft, and lift block, which I toss anyway.

I want my 2012 Z71 lower. 4/7 drop to be exact.

I am going to achieve this with;
FRONT
Belltech lift/lower struts
2" drop spindles...DJM, belltech etc

REAR
DJM Flip kit p/n RK2507-7
shocks
shim kit
helper bag if necessary

Is this the parts list, or is this out to lunch?

Do I need shackle flip kit
shackles
or any other parts?

Thanks for the reply man...love the truck.

Clears up my confusion.

I love how cheap it is to go low compared to grow big.
