Default Looking for advice on Rear Shackles

I have a 89 XJ that desperately needs new rear leaf springs. I picked up a set of so called 'Up Country' springs which are basically stock height plus and inch or so. I'd like to replace the rear shackles. Truck is completely stock aside from similar 'Up Country' (+1") coils on the front. I love the idea of 'Sliders' but, really, that's serious overkill for my needs. I'm looking for 'stock height' shackle (all +1" Up Country springs aside). Any suggestions on good value shackles to use? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for your note EZ. Those are definitely an option but would prefer something similar without the 'adjustable' part (and presumably a little cheaper as I'm trying to reduce how much money I sink into this repair).

I've got the Omix-Ada stock ones on mine from Rock Auto. No problems.

Not much in the way of name brand no lift aftermarket shackles except for the IRO's. Best thing you can do is find the best price you can on OEM style shackles.

I put the Crown shackles on mine not too long ago and they've been good. Amazon had them a good price as of a few months ago.
