Is the only benefit of flipping and flattening the stock brackets to increase shock travel length? I was doing some fitting and testing today after I cut and shaped the new brackets, and it looks like flipping that bracket will make that the lowest point of the rear end.

Yes, flipping the brackets allows more shock travel since they're now .750" below the bottom of the T/A vs. .750" above. They do fall below the scrub-line on the T/A but I don't recall them being lower than say the brake drum.
On lowered T/A apps (using lowering blocks), if over 1.5" blocks are used, the U-bolt ends are usually the lowest point & are below the scrub-line

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
