I think I've decided on the flip kit

I think I am going to go with a flip kit vs the shackles/hangers to drop the rear of my 87 short wide. It's cheaper than the shackle/hanger kit, and you get more drop to boot

Since it's dropping the rear more than a shackle/hanger, I think I will need to combine lowering springs along with the 2.5 spindles I plan to use. I think if I were to just use the spindles, the rear would be lower than the front causing an unpleasant look, correct? I want to have my truck still somewhat alignment capable, so should I go with the 1'' or 2'' springs?

Also, I know with shackles/hangers, removing the bed would be pretty much required for an easy install, what about for the flip kit? Seems it would not be required for an easy install? I plan on running 255/60/15 all around. No c-notch.
