k, i just bought a 2/4 spindles and flip kit. ok, it comes with longer shackles for the rear...would the truck get lower if I used my 2" drop shackles I already have on the truck, instead of the longer shackles the kit came with?

you wouldnt be able to bolt it up, the 2" shackles would be too short, the axle would hit the frame first, you get lower if you use the stock shackle it makes the rear like 6" lower than stock height...

I would recommend using the shackles that came with the kit to begin with. Bumps need to be removed and a little testing to see how everything is fitting.
