need longer than stock 40 series shackles

After the spring over in front even after removing one leaf out of the front spring pack, I am a bit low in the rear due to the taller than normal axle spring plates because of the issues with mounting a 60 series axle under the 40.

So I need to raise my back end maybe an inch or so. Anyone have a pair of shackles collecting dust they want to sell?

No. I need to outboard the front. THe longer shackles are for the rear. I need an 1"-1.50. So total length of shackles needs to be 6 to 7", I could go as much as 8" (stock is about 4).
