the first is sold with the idea that you will be providing new longer shocks. the second is sold with the idea that you would be keeping your factory shocks (adapters used to help make that possible) and the last option is sold with the idea that you would be using their new and longer shocks. you do not want to run 2.5" of lift without replacing your shocks with longer ones or running adapter extensions.

If you use your stock shocks with no adapters you will get no more droop than stock and your uptravel will be reduced by the thickness of the bump stops. So, overall your suspension travel will be reduced.

Can you do it? Yes. Will you hurt anything? No. Should you do it? No.

The kit with no adapters or shocks are for people who would like to run a different (but still longer-than-stock) shock than TF offers.
