I recently installed the Belltech 5.5 in flip kit and c notch on my tahoe and personally I don’t think I got quite 5.5 inches out of it, I am looking to drop it down another inch using 1 inch drop shackles, what do you guys think am I missing something???

Couple questions: what size tires are those, and how many miles have you put on the drop kit?
Truck looks good, but you're right, it's missing something.

Not exactly sure on the tires, I have only put about 350 miles on the kit

I think the shackles should level it out in the rear.

That’s what I’m hoping for, I’m just hoping it doesn’t rub on the fuel filler hose

The fronts fill the arches, the rears don't.
I asked about miles because springs settle and tend to get a little lower.
Drop shackles or taller tires should give you the right look. I vote for shackles.

I have some coming in Friday, I will get back and post some picture with the outcome.

A flip kit will lower the vehicle the thickness of the spring pack plus the diameter of the axle housing.

My wife's 86 dually would drop about a foot and a half with a flip kit! That monster has twice as many leaves as my dually!
Rides like it too. I put 3 yards of crushed concrete in the back and it rode better and didn't even get into the overload leaf!

You could use blocks if there is a danger of hitting the fuel filler hose.
