My 2" lift should be at my house when i get home from work today. I'd like to at least get the rear done tonight and if i have to wait and do the front tomorrow. Here is the lift:

My question is with the instructions for the rear. Here:

I thought for the shackle I could do less work then they call for. I was thinking this:
- rear half of jeep supported on jack stands
- jack under rear diff
- unbolt current shackles
- lower axle and springs with jack
- put in new shackles
- bolt back together
- remove jacks
In my searches i have seen that typically 2" does not give vibes or they are minimal. My question is this: Does removing the axle from the springs allow it to rotate back to a more natural position after the angle of the springs are changed by the new shackle?
I think that if this is true then it would be worth the extra time and work to follow the procedure they provide to reduce the chances of any vibes.
Please share and thoughts, opinions, or experience.
