More 73-87 C10 Drop Question

Yes it's me again back with more questions. Sorry guys I am all ready to buy my parts now and I have some conserns.

1) DJM lists the Axle Flip Kit as a 5" drop. My reading here if memory serves claims 4"? I am sitting level now thanks to the DJM 2" Shackles and I want to keep it level. What will I need to do up front to match the Flip Kit? I see 3" as the most extreme Spindles.

2) I am afraid that 5" all around may just kill my normal truck duties. I still need it to haul my motorcycle in it and odd jobs. Will I be scraping the spare tire in the ground over bumps if I do this? It is 2" lower than stock already in the rear. It does have the towing package so it may be stiff enough in the rear???

3) Can I get someone to post picks of their frame-C to reference? I saw Ken had some really good ones posted a while back but I can't find them anymore.

Any help is greatly appreciated, incase it helps to see how the truck sits now I will attach a few pics since I threw the shackles on it.

Thanks again guys!
