Alright So I wanna put Chevy 63" leafs in the rear and belltech shackles but I also want to gain the travel by flipping them... So is it possible still gain the 3" of lift by the springs and the 2" of lift by the shackles even if I flip them? Because I have two Leafs and a 5" Block in the rear and the leafs are bent...

Flipping a stock trucks shackles lowers it around 2" by raising the leaf mounting point up beside/above the frame. Adding the belltechs would make it lower still. I don't know prerunners well but I think they flip their shackles and add the 6400's while adding chebby 63's to increase dropout (more with the longer shackles) not ride height since I imagine a low CG is good.
