not knowing K series trucks well, I would assume their spring stack is much stiffer which would further reduce ride comfort. If you don't want a big drop, I wouldn't bother with a flip kit at all. Just start with a drop hanger (worth 2") and then if that isn't enough, get a drop shackle as most have 2 options on placement for 1" or 2" additional drop. <- that approach should be a lot less work than a flip kit and will likely get you where you want to be all while keeping your current ride quality.
