PLEASE HELP Mcgaughys URGENT

I started lowering my crew cab yesterday and I seem to have run into quite a few problems with my mcgaughys lowering kit. I'll start off by saying I've lowered plenty of cars/ trucks in the past but this is my first nnbs that I have lowered. Im using the mcgaughys 24070 which comes with the adjustable struts and flip kit. I was able to do the front with no issues but was bit lost when it came to the flip kit. The kit came with absolutely no instructions at all. So I'm not sure what the process entails. It looks like either the gas tank, trailer hitch, and possibly the whole rear end has to come out in order to flip the leaf springs.


THE FRONT: I installed the shocks and used no rings. I'm running a 305/35/24 tire all around and didn't expect for the truck to go down as low as it did. Wheel is tucked.. Obviously with that tire size. The truck is rubbing on the inner fender to the point it barely can drive straight. Forget trying to turn.

Ive been wanting to change out my 24's for a set of some 22" stock replicas to. Get a smoother ride. (not sure what tire size I need)

THE REAR: after trying to figure out how to remove the leaf pack for 30 minutes, I realized the previous owner had leveled the rear using some longer shackles and they weren't going to work with the mcg kit.

Here's what I think I'll need.
* Instructions for rear
* Stock shackles
* Raise the the front
* correct rim and tire size.
