Thats the Rough Country 2/4-4.5 kit.
If you put the stock hanger on, that will drop it too low if you only want a inch lower. A normal flip kit will drop 7" you're wanting to be around 5-5.5. You will need to get some longer shackles to raise it up.
Hell I would save the hassle and remove the plate up front to raise it up some. That will get close to level.

Well I appreciate everyone's input and I think the truck is perfect (in terms of height). I bolted up the stock hangers and used a McGaughy 1inch lowering shackle. The drop lowered the rear end and all fender heights are right at 34inches.
First pic shows how little clearance there is between the McGaughy 1inch drop shackle and the stock hanger. Can anyone confirm this limited clearance is how their turned out? Good news is they're self clearancing, right? HA. I've driven the truck around and now weird scraping or binding so I think I'm good.
Now time for rims, chrome grill and headlights, tint, and vinyl wrapped black front and rear bumpers.
