Default shackle help

I have just put a 6.5" lift from Rustys on my 98. The question I have is what to do with the problem of the rear shackle hitting the frame? Is there a kit out there to lower it so it is out of the pocket or do I have to fab something? Pictures would be a great help. Thanks.

I was thinking of lowering the position of the shakle mount. Would a boomarang shackle still hit before full stuff, limiting the flex? I could be wrong.
