I would highly recommend removing the bed.
I use shock extenders for all my flip kits. What you linked isn't going to help since it won't be low enough in my opinion.
DJM flip kits come with them....

Another option instead of using shock extenders, is to use drop shocks.
-
but is'nt that plate going on the bottom,once the axel gets fliped?
so the shock would be the same distance as before flip?
-
The plate will be on the bottom , but it won't be near where the original brackets were, and definitely not in the same orientation. It is much easier to just get the flip kit with the extenders or drop shocks...
-
do ya have a link to the extenders
-
A good flip kit will have shock extenders. I used a Bell Tech flip prior to bagging my truck. It had the extenders and shocks with the kit.
