I used AC delco air shocks with shock extenders ...OEM size shocks. worked perfect.

they make shackles, but typically they are longer and would lower more.

going shorter would drastically change how the spring flexes and cause a bucking more that likely.

you could consider a rear shackle flip ??? depending on your fab skills and which holes you use...

dig through some 4wd threads, or service sites for rear shackle mounts...some make a boxed version that are smaller overall than a stock and could easily be placed where needed.

I suggest having your springs rearched for the needed lift. If my memory is right lift shackles are shorter then lowering or factory shackles. This can cause the ride to become a bit jittery due to the springs inability to grow length wide during compression.

When I lowered my 99’ crew cab 4/6 it was a bit too low in the rear. I ordered some 1’ lift shackles off of eBay. They worked just fine.
