I have the same drop. I did my own flip kit, rather than buying one. I just bought a set of $15 spring perches, and welded them in place. Cut a notch and boxed it in. Then did the Summit shackles. Up front, I have the spindles from AIM and have Summit springs (re branded Ground Force as Aaron said). Doing it this route, I have less than $300 in the drop including shipping. And it rides great. When my buddy aligned it, other than getting it on and off the ramp, it went right to place.

The only thing I would change would be to maybe go another inch lower in back, but that's only certain days.
