Default Flip kits....what am I missing here?

2015+ trucks.
Just looking at various kits and the DJM flip kit comes with a shorter shackle and says it's a 6" drop. The McGaughys kit doesn't appear to have a shorter shackle and says it's a 4" drop. I can't find instructions online for the McGaughys 70039 kit to figure out what I'm missing. Anyone have any insight? I'm sure it's something simple.

My understanding is that a basic flip will give you about 6 by just moving the leaf springs. The McGaughy kit is only 4 because of the mounts it comes with...or so I understand.

Got it....NOW I can see what that weird bracket is. Drops the front leaf spring mount. Makes sense now.
