Than click select options.
you're reading it right, but thinking about it wrong. for a lift, you raise the suspension, either by longer springs or drop brackets, or whatever. after that, the distance between your shock mount on the lower control arm and the one at the frame has increased, thus needing longer shocks.

if you were to take the shock off your truck, the springs would still hold it up. go for a drive with no shocks and you'll bounce around like on a trampoline.
