Looking for the best shackles for front and rear

I'm looking for shackels to raise my 85 4runner of course after the lift settled the rear started to sag more than the front, so i would like to raise the front end up another 2 inches and maybe the front another inch. Who has the best shackles for a good price. Also i'm looking for a quick release sway-bar seeing how this is my daily driver. Any answers out there are welcome ones thanks

I had trouble with my old Downey Rubicon shackles with the lock nuts loosening up and the bolts wearing out the holes in the side plates. I once lost a nut on one of the front shackles out in the middle of Nebraska. I fixed mine by adding a retainer to hold the head of the bolt from turning:
