I only have maybe 2" in the front before I hit the bump stops. Do I just bag the front to get it lower?? I am not taking the flip kit of of the rear. Also my rear end looks crooked.....on my suburban. The holes are to the front. I just ready to drive the dam thing!!

Cochino is correct.
If you want to raise the rear a little, you can install 4x4 frame hangers (for the rear leaf spring shackle).
The down side is the fact that the gas tank has to be removed, rivets ground off/removed, and the new 4x4 hanger bolted on prior to re-installing the gas tank.
If the rearend looks crooked,... make sure you have the leaf springs installed correctly. The center pin is offset in the leaf spring. Sounds like you have one in backwards.
This is easy to do. I had
both in backwards one time,... and didn't realize it until I tried to install the driveshaft. It wouldn't go in.
(The rearend was too far forward)
I had to take everything apart and turn the leaf springs around.
