You will most likely need to notch your bed brace directly over the pumpkin also. If you dont, you'll hit a good bump and see a large raised area right in the middle of the bed. Ask me how I know this....

I installed trans mount spacer's on my truck when I bagged it, but I have never used them on a static dropped truck, is your truck a reg. cab or ext. cab?

Mine as well leave them out, since its coming from an expert that had experience with dropped trucks ^^^. And it's a regular cab, short bed.

If after you have the flip kit installed the pinion angle look's off then you could install the spacer's if neccesary, you want your rear end pinion angle to be angled just slightly downward from the driveshaft 1-2 degree's.

It looks to be that way, I couldn't find anything to measure it (cant find anything in our shop lol ) But if you measure the drive shaft itself its about 13.5 coming from the transmission to about 12 to the rear end so it sorta points down & rear end itself slightly pointing down towards the front of the truck. Don't know if that makes sense I tried to explain it the best I can.

when i first did my 4/6 i had to put spacers under my carrier bearing cause at 60 ish it would vibrate. And now my new drop thats around 5.5/9 ish its doing it again. But gonna finish the mods this week and see where im at. lol
