The ideal shackle lift is to get your lift out of both sids. Cut off the front shackle and fab a taller one and then put a taller one on the back. If you split the difference between the two you can achieve the same lift as you would by putting a rear shackle twice as long.(ie +4 inch rear shackle= +2inch front and +2in rear). The longer rear shackle is definitely more prone to twist. If you can't weld I would even take a block of hardwood and lag bolt it inbetween to give it some tortional strength
