Longer Shackles?

[GRM]

I’m looking for slightly longer shackles for my ‘71. I see a few available, but the manufacturers don’t show the length.

Any ideas or recommendations? I already have bolt in shims up front to adjust caster. Just looking to raise the truck ~0.5”

18mm Double Duty Shackles-$79 a pair-Feb only!
Landcruiser Double D shackles, the ‘sexy’ shackles

Mark’s Off Road Marks Off Road Home Page is proud to introduce the newest concept in heavy duty replacement parts for your Toyota Landcruiser: the Double Duty shackle. We replaced the old fashioned fixed gusset between the shackle plates with an adjustable, removable one, so you no longer have to choose between a street-solid shackle and a trail-flexy one: you get BOTH in one shackle!

Many folks who run trails with their cruisers believe an ‘open’ shackle [without a gusset]...

If you want to raise the vehicle a 1/2" you'll need a shackle an 1" longer than what you have now.

Don’t laugh anyone… I was going through parts last week and found a set of 110mm shackles for my 40. I got them, what, 15 years ago? I thought I needed help choosing shackles. But no, I needed help cleaning my garage

Now the truck sits nice and level.

I seem to do the same thing. Buy the parts and then not do the work needed to get the reward. Mine stems from my quest for perfection (defined as what I deem as perfect) which always leads to procrastination.
