Re: Flip kit? + Shackles? How low can I go in the back.
On my 79 I had to trim the rail under the bed so that the shackle would clear.

Measure the diameter of your axle tubes. If they're 3" & the leaf spring width is 2.5", the commom flip kit should work.

Re: Flip kit? + Shackles? How low can I go in the back.
how about the front end? are the a-arms and all that the same from 1/2 to 3/4 ton to allow for the same drop spindles?

Re: Flip kit? + Shackles? How low can I go in the back.
I am not even sure you can do a flip, shackles and hangers without seriously modifying your frame, bed floor, and wheel tubs. It will all fit (depending on tire size), but your suspension travel will be limited with mods. It also depends on where this auxilary fuel tank is located.
