my shackles are longer than stock, but i went the cheap-free route by using some 1/4" steel bars and drilling holes in the end. 4 bars = 2 shackles and cheap. wee!

Shackles will lift your truck by about 1/2 the amount they are extended. So if your stock shackles are 4" long and you want 1" of lift make new shackles 2" longer than the 4" stockers = 6". Or do like I did and buy some cornfeds. They are really nice for the price.
If your gonna make some, I'd make two sets. One for what your wanting in lift right now, and one set about 2" longer than you think you would ever want. Leave the second set undrilled on one end so you could cut to fit in the future.
