Default Driveshaft re-clocking and balancing

Im looking at the directions for my superlift 6" lift kit and it says that I have to have my front driveshafts rebalanced. It also says that I have to grind off a key in the cv's and rotate one of the 90 degrees so that they go back in, in the same orientation (reclocking). I was wondering if someone could clear up as to why I need to go about doing these two processes and can you rebalance them yourself?

I have personally have not seen that on instructions, but Call these guys www.floridapowertrain.com I use the Jacksonville location. They have a high speed balancer. They can do the grinding and rotating that needs to be done.
