A flip kit doesnt come with drop shackles and will give you about a 5in drop. If the leafs have not been altered and you remove the bumpstop mount you shouldnt hit the frame. If you add the 2in drop shackles you will have a 7in drop wich will require a c-notch in the frame for clearance.

I would assume your brothers has some leafs removed wich will drop it 1-2in or the bumpstops have not been removed. If thats the case, you will need to either remove the bumpstops, add a c-notch, or add a leaf. Do you have any pics of the rear suspension?
