Don't get confused with factory lifts and heigths. It is almost confusing
Your truck has a factory spring so it requires a shock for the factory heigth.
If you were to install this same spring u nder a 77.5 to 79 truck it would rasie the truck almost 4 inches and require a shock for a 4 inch lift. But that would make the later truck no longer stock, thus requireing a shock that is for the adjusted heigth.
If your truck is tock heigth, then you need to buy a shock for the stock year and heigth.
