Shackle lift
Ok so I got a 2" shackle lift for my 89 pickup to level out the front and back fenders. I guessing I would need shocks that are 3-4" longer than stock, and some new polly bushings, right? Someone told me I would have to check to u-joints and the drive shaft because they would be out of alignment because of the lift. Is this true, and if so what would I do? I have done some research about this and I figured all I need is new shocks. Any feedback would help.
Thanks
Thanks

Are these a 2" lift shackle or 2" longer than stock?

Shocks should be longer by about the amount of lift, but best to measure and see what you need:

And also, measure your driveshaft angles:
