If you do a flip kit the rear is going to be significantly lower than the front.  If you want it level without cutting the coils, you can do a shackle kit.  To make one level it needs to go down about 2" in the rear.

yea i acually thought for once and vroke out the tape measure, and the back would be lower, now my only problem is getting the bed off, been out there for a while with the impact and wont break the bolts loose, so im tking a break and thinking about it this truck was acually suppose to be what i want it to be

Get some PB Blaster and soak the bolts/nuts down.  The last think you want to do is round off the hole in the bed.
Are you removing the bed to do the flip?

yea ive already use the rest of my pb blaster on them about 3 or 4 onths ago i cut the back 4 out and now im just thinking about waiting to do this

now im just looking at buying 3 inch drop coils and djm 5 inch flip kit from summit, cheaper there, and i just starting with a 3/5 would be better for now

On the rear you dont have to remove the bed to do a flip kit. It is harder to get to things but it is possible, unless you really want to remove thebed for another reason.
