Good thing about the bags, you can adj your height to just how you want it to sit

Re: Flip kit ended up too low. How do I gain some height back?
I had the same issue, but without the HD springs like you have. I figured I had two options - flip it back the way it was and do a shackle/hanger kit instead, or lower the front more to make it look right.
So anyway I'm in the middle of chopping and modifying my front inner fenders to make clearance... |

Re: Flip kit ended up too low. How do I gain some height back?
I've been watching this discussion with interest since I will likely end up with the same issue. I'm not "get it as low as possible" type of guy, but want a little less elevation with good driveability and a decent look. I also like the idea of the axle flip since I think spring under axle is inherently a little more stable. So I intend to use 4x hangers, and lift shackles if necessary, to bring it back up a little. I really don't want to install an additional on-board system. I'll be really interested to see that works. The nice thing is you can dial it in exactly where you want it.

Standard set-ups were usually around 5x 52" leaf so flip kits for them yield <6" drop & why many of the lighter duty trucks can get away w/not needing a c-notch. The lighter duty 52" leaf packs also require notching @ one of the under-bed supports if adding longer drop shackles (the HD 56" leafs don't require the mod).
