It appears one of the shackles is/was produced wrong?
It appears in the top picture that the shackle on the right has 2 holes, thats for 2.5" and 3" of lift. But you can't see the left shackle is its got 2 holes or not.
But in the bottom picture, it shows the shackle on the right only having 1 hole?
Fluke in the pic or is that how they are?
Yup perfect set of shackles lol.

You'll only need to do what you mentioned if you're planning on going 4"+ possibly, which requires new shocks leafs etc. This kit works with your stock shocks and leafs and doesn't compromise ride comfort.
Only reason I haven't put the kit on mine is because my rear leafs are sagging bad and I don't have the time or funds to replace everything.

Nope. They're actually pretty simple. Spacers go under the front coil springs to "boost" the front end up and the rear shakles just lower the rear leaf springs from the original position to raise the rear end up.

Stock shocks with 3" of lift? Thats not gonna work at all, your flex will be zero. And more than likely at 3" the track bar will need to be addressed as well.
