Dual Steering Stabilizer install question

The rough country kit says the passenger side bracket goes right onto the u bolts for the springs and is followed by the supplied torque nuts (2). The driver side says to remove existing nuts and add bracket and put existing nuts back on. The brackets are identical. Wont this make the kit sit lower on the passenger side? I asked Rough Country and they said no it will be even. They answered my question pretty quick (like 10 seconds) and I know they have a lot of different applications per each make and model year too. Unless they are just that knowledgeable about everything for every make and model.... I dunno.

My other problem was the 8" suspension kit on it now was def torqued too tight. I can't get the nuts off the bottom of the spring u bolts. I was thinking about buying 2 more 15mm torque nuts and adding the bracket on the driverside just like the passenger side (on top of the existing nuts) to me this seems level as this is all attached to the axle and that def should be level. I dunno, could use an outside opinion, thanks in advance
