questions on a belltech flip kit

2 things I could not find by searching.
The instruction (belltech 4" drop) states on re-install to install the front of the leaf first and then the rear...problem is it does not want to clear the bracket at the rear enough to go in. If I loosen the shackle it might but Im just following instructions.2nd the instructions state the rear shock will no longer work and could swear I read several post where people were still using them with good results.

Doesn't really matter the order.

Shocks generally speaking are good for + or - 2" and will last.

You can run -4" short term but it will wear them out.

Patman said it all.

All bolt shouldn't be torqued down while installing stuff. You just put them on loose and when everything is there you torque them.

just lift the rear of the leaf pack higher then the bracket before installing the front part.

stock will work, but will bottom out frequently and wear fast!
