Exclamation 3" level and lift shackles

I had a guy that was putting my leveling kit on and he stopped halfway through saying that it will not fit. Does this sound right to anyone? Its autospring 3" and the shackles are supposed to give me around an inch...I contacted autospring and they assured me that it would fit. Also, is anyone running a 3" level with shackles? I'd prefer to be as level as possible.

I have a 2.5" auto spring and it was tight but I've read many times over guys putting 3" in.. Do you have factory struts?

As far as I know everything underneath is still factory. I got my truck November of 2012 and I'm the 3rd owner.... everything appears to be factory but I'm not 100% positive

I have a total of 3 inches in my front to level my truck.... It was a PITA..... Had to disconnect the spindle from the lower control arm to get enough room.granted mine is not a autospring... I have the 2 inch Rancho quick lift struts and added a 1 inch spacer from daystar.

Reason I ask is maybe they are ready lift struts or bilstein and it's already lifted??
