They may have shackles the measure 5-8" in length? I've never heard of anything over 3". I would stay away from them they cause to much strain on the leaf packs.

You don't want to end up like this do you?

I think they sell shackles that are 3+ inches and are universal at advance auto parts. I wouldn't use them though because well the picture doesn't lie. haha
