I was already home when it got to us. Sat on the patio and watched it. Was very nice.

Shocks will make or break the ride quality no matter which drop you do.
Before you buy a flip, think of it this way. Factory leafs are very soft and have "long" travel on bumps. Then you move the axle above the leafs on the same soft soupy leafs, and you have 2" or less of travel before bottoming out, and you think its gonna ride good?
There's a reason the aftermarket drop leaf springs are usually 10-20% stiffer (depending on brand)
There's also a reason why flip kits are so cheap, remember you get what you pay for
