    I also wanted to ask a couple more questions sorry in advanced lol what would be the advantages of have aftermarket shackles?
    And also what is better about the Bushings from Wheelers that is better from some brand new ones from my work at the stealership?

    I asked a million questions leading up to my purchase and install too. That's what's great about this forum!

    I can't answer the shackle question but as for the bushings.....probably none. I just suggest you get new one instead of re-using the ones from your current leafs.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i think it's because of the bottom coil plates on the OME shock vs the flat bottom of the king coils.

    Yep. The OME springs end in a spiral shape, and the spring perch is shaped in that corkscrew shape. I think all the adjustable coilover springs are flat on the bottom.

    So the kit already comes with aftermarket shackles?

    You mean different lengths ?

    The advantage is they are greaseable vs not

    You can get more lift by messing with the shackles too but I don't think it's real popular on here. Haven't noticed too many folks talking about it. You won't need more rear lift unless you want a extra rake.
