What should I do about my rear suspension?

I have a longbed pickup.
The front has a 6" lift with ORD shackled for 1/2" lift and a Dana60 which adds about 3/4" lift over my older front axle, so it's about 7" lift.

The rear has stock drooping springs(- 0.5") with an add-a-lead (1.5") and 4" block. Total 5" lift.
The front is too high.

I've thought about a shackle flip, but that's only 4". Should I get 4" lift springs and go with the shackle flip?

What do you guys think>?
 
Im in the same boat as you, i have 6" front and soon to have ord zero rate, in the rear i have 4" shackle flip with stock springs, overload flipped, add a leaf and 1" or so block. The fron sits higher right now an thats with out the ord zero rate. So im thinking 4" rears should be good and will get her to sit level.
