That's weird to me. Lol I can understand why springs have different heights. But a shackle seemed more predictable.

Why? They came without the bushings and bar pins in, that is the way I assembled them, I wasn't sure if I did it rite.

Long arm lifts have longer arms that mount further back on the frame/ unibody, which allows for more flex.

you need at least 4" of lift to run long arms. And the expense isn't justified unless you do a fair amount of wheeling
