Lift Shackles

I have a 6” long arm Full Traction lift. The rear sits low and their web site says the shackles that come with the 6” lift add 1” lift over stock. I don’t want to change the springs so was thinking of getting longer shackles. Does anyone have recommendations I need an additional 2” of lift so would be looking at a shackle that adds 3” of lift over stock. The other question is if I use longer shackles will my pinion angle be off?
 
A 3" lift shackle is effectively 6"longer, which would be crazy long. I've never seen one that big offered for sale. A better alternative would be a shackle relocation kit. It will most likely change your pinion angle either way you go.
 
Yep 2 inches = 1 inch of lift I couldn’t find anything either. I was thinking of the shackle relocation but it won’t work with my frame stingers.
 
I was thinking about an air bag kit with the daystar cups but I don’t think they will fit and it may be more work than it’s worth.
 
Show us a picture of your frame stingers that stop you from doing shackle relocatoin?

That's your best bet still by a long shot, otherwise you're looking for new leafs.
