Daniel, you have now been officially infected. When you do the flip kit you can knock out the O/L spring. lol Believe me it won't be long....

Edit: your front looks to be a little lower than normally seen.

Here is a picture of Red when I first put the 08 wheels on it. It has shackles and O/L removed.

The shackle will settle back some, this is one of the reasons why I don't always like air tools as they can easily make somethings too tight. Not removing the o/l was a missed opportunity and you will need to go back in to remove. It'll give you another 5/8" - 3/4" drop. It doesn't weaken the spring pack but simply removes the thickness of the spring. Good luck...
