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”

Well, there's these. I run 'em

 
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.
