Got the rear finished, still waiting on jegs to send front lowering springs. I think it's going to look good.

Before and after: seems like the front needs to come down just a little more?

Have you driven it yet?  If not drive it first it will settle.

You need to drive it around and let it settle some before you start changing things.  4/6 should put the truck about level

Well new problems now, I've taken the bed off again to fix my rear end (bad vibration) and the frame is getting into the shocks real bad , dented them in a tiny bit. Should I get a shock relocation kit?? Anyone else have one of these belltech kits that may have had similar problems. Thanks

If you got a flip kit you need shock extenders so the shocks won't bottom out.  They should work without them though.  How long is your shock bracket?

Im not sure its just the stock one, I talked to belltech and they said its because I removed the overload spring? Do u think that would make it that much lower without that leaf, to cause it to hit?? Thanks really appreciate all the help.
