Size and Type of Shackle?

I have been looking around the boards but haven't seen anyone say what a good size shackle lift would be when compaired to a 1.5 bj spacker lift on the front. My questions are as follows :

1. I would like to know which size shackle will make the it level or slightly higher in the rear?

2. What is the best place to buy shackles?

Click this link. The 6" shackle should work for you.

the 3 inch extended shackles will be good if you get the 1.5 inch BJ spacers

4Crawler - could you please explain how a 3" longer shackle only gives you 1.5-2" of lift? I don't understand how that works? Is this shackle from you? where would be a good place to buy a 3" shackle?
