Default shackles

i went to the jy 2day looking for the mj shackles but could only locate one so i started searching and found that every ford pick-up i found had the same shackles so anyone looking for may want to try these as they are much easier to find then the mjs i picked up the set for $4.25 and will be installing them next weekend probably but they are exactly the same as the mj so they will net the same 1 inch lift and much more common to find this is an example of the shackle

as i said every ford pickup i looked at had the same shackles from rangers to f-350s the ones i got were out of a newer f-350 because they were in the best shape but for under 5 bucks it was a heck of deal

So how much lift did they give 1" or 1.5"? I'll be looking for some and I would like to find out which is the best.

Chevy drop shackles at autozone. You can get about 2"'s with those.
