Default Length of stock shackles vs RC lift shackles?

Does anyone know the length of stock shackles? I tossed mine.

Also, does anyone know the length of the RC shackles? Looking to raise my rear about 1.5".

Thanks! Please let me know. The Revolvers I have now are 4.25" center bolt to center bolt (compressed). I really like them, but need to lift the rear.

Sorry it took me a while to measure them up I got it.
My stock shackles do measure 3.25"
and the lift shackles are 6.25"
but maybe you should call rough country and check what they have cuz mine were supposed to be 2" lift shackles but from my measurements it looks like they're 3"

Thanks for the measurements. They would actually be 1.5" lift shackles. 6.25"-3.25" = 3"/2=1.5".

I did call RC and contacted them via chat yst. They surprisingly could not tell me the total length to the last hole. And they told me the stock shackles were 3" eye to eye, when I've had 2 other people tell me it's 3.25.

Nevertheless, I ordered the set last night. We'll see what results I get.
