Been busy with work bro. I'll clean her up and get some tomorrow. On a side note have you thought about running aftermarket uca's with a 2" spacer?

What joh408 said. Springtech uca's will work on fabtech spindles. Lightning expo did it without issues

Are these good shackles and will they bring my rear end up to be level with the front? How hard is the install?

Just ordered those rear lift shackles from ebay (springtech) They should arrive on 3/4/12. I plan on putting them on myself when they come in, just wondering how hard the install will be?

install is pretty straight forward, shouldn't take too long to get them on if you have all tools required.

Also can I still use the shocks that came with the fabtech kit or will they be too short?

All you'll need to install is basic hand tools (sockets, ratchets, and wrenches) and jacks/jackstands. You should still be good with the fabtech shocks.
