howd you have a 7inch drop btw?
3inchs up from the bags, then 4inchs down from shackle/hanger?

Actually I was wrong, that would be roughly a 5.5" drop. If I used my stock hangers that would be a 7" drop. Though it seems like it is a 7 when aired out. Its almost tucking tire, maybe another inch.
With the BellTech flip kit you have two options.
1.) 5.5 drop with the supplied lift hangers and flipping the axle
2.) 7" drop with stock hangers and flipping the axle.
Heres a few shots to give you an idea.
Before drop
After drop/aired out
After drop with about 85lbs in the bags

how tall are your tires? damn im thinking of grabbing on of these things. haha have an onboard compressor?
They are stock height. I dont remember exactly, 28 or 29 inches tall.
Grabbing one of what? Helper bags.
No onboard compressor, well I shouldnt say that I have a portable one that I leave in the back. Though it would be a good idea.

yea some bags. you have the lines then running to a valve stem>?
Yeah. I have a T connector right behind the hitch and a small length of line to come off of it and out by the hitch. Pretty ghetto but it works. I need to clean it up and mount it solid somewhere. Its just ziptied to the hitch right now.

My rear fenders aren't rolled, but it is actually rubbing at times on the inside towards the rear of the wheel well. I thought about rolling my fender lip and adding a spacer to my wheel to space it out a little bit. I believe I am setting at a 5/7 drop, I thought about lifting it a little, but it looks pretty damn good right now.

+1 to looking damn good.. The flip kits usually put the truck over the expected drop. Id deff lift it up a hair.
Do you have your stock shackles in place? on my truck, i had stock shackles, now im going to a 1inch lifting shackle to get away from any rubbing, plus it looks better to match the front. seems like your ass is a little down compared to the front in the picture..
(need to remove the rear wiper, paint the pillars glossy black, and dome debadging
) haha
heres my truck without the lifting shackle..
As you can see, with that flipkit it just sitstoo low in the back. parts should be here this week
