I have a flip on the rear of my truck, too. I went with shock relocating brackets. I was going to do shorter drop shocks, but I've read that the angle of the shocks from the flip kit nullify the benefits of the drop shocks.

Now, I've also read that isn't the case and just drop shocks on the rear are fine. The nicest thing about the shock relocating brackets is being able to change the shocks without removing the u bolts for the rear end. When you flip the axle, the shock bolt is pretty close to the u bolts. Some people even have to clearance the u bolt plate to access the bolt head. With shock relocating brackets you only have to worry about the bolt that holds those on. They move the shock bolt lower than the axle u bolt plate and therefore negate having to remove the u bolts to access the shock lower mount bolt.

I hope this helps, and it didn't seem like I'm rambling. It's been a long week and I have about four cups of coffee in me already this morning. I feel like I'm being extra long winded.
