I flipped the rear end in my 85 on top of the leafs. I now have a shock problem with the shocks being an an extreme angle(maybe a 25 degrees angle[little adjuration]). I have wanted to put a Triangulated 4 bar system on it. I have even thought about trying a Trailing arm setup or just flipping the leafs inside the frame. I want to box the frame, and have it powder coated. I don't want to put the truck on air, although it may be a better ride, i just don't want to do it.

what do you guys think will work best ?

The cheapest fix for your shock problem would be to add a set of shock relocators. They lower the lower shock mounting point which helps with the angle of the shocks and shock travel (you may be having issues with the shocks even bottoming out without them on flip kit truck).
