you can adjust from 1.25" or 1.75" to lower the rear

They fit both the 4x2 & 4x4 since they have the same ride height

replacing the shackles are easy, but remember there is a left and right. if you get them mixed up they wont fit.

no they are not labeled, but if you put then next to each other you will see that the bottom is wider than the top. and when next to each other they have to curve away from each other. its not much but enough to make it so they will fit.,if the curve is toward each other than they are backwards. so if you are looking at them next to each other and they curve away, the left is for the left and right is for the right. from looking at the back of the truck. and if you have a problem getting the bolts off, it would be a good idea to get new ones before you start.

Well thanks for the heads up again

Guess I'll just have to wait until spring to find out what I'm working with
