My dipstick keeps coming up. I got a panfill with a transgo 40-2 with the rac springs in it. Is the shift kit what keeps pushing the dipsick off?

Not too likely.

What does your breather look like?

This is not uncommon. You can make something to lock it in there or get a proper lockdown stick .It's not the shift kit,they just work their way out

Is just the dipstick coming out or the tube that the dipstick goes into?

That is a common problem. You can try a new o-ring or put a lock on it. You can check the vent to make sure it is clear or just put up with it. Unless water or dirt gets into the tube you won't hurt anything.
