Will the 4 inch rear shackle flip kit work with a 1/4 eliptic setup? Would this get a good setup for more travel from the rear? Hopefully this is not a stupid question.

From what i know about 1/4 eliptical setups. (Which is not very much) you don't even use the rear spring mount since there is no spring there.
I am sure someone with a little more knowledge will chime in

you mean 3/4 elliptical and it will not. The rear spring eye mounts to a shackle which mounts to another 1/2 of a leaf spring. Ask in the garage about this setup. Only on person I know on this page has it, he finds it alright but will be replacing it. The setup has its issues in a fullsize.
You could use the flip with a 3/4 ellip but it would likely have to be moved on the frame to work. In general, 3/4 ellip causes problems on a fullsize because of the axle wrap tendencies and the uncontrolled droop can be a problem on a rig with a higher CG. These issues can be addressed but lowering the CG is tough without a LOT of work and typically loss of full size truck function.
