By the looks of it you need to change more than just the shackle.

It's just nuts and bolts dude. You need some stands, a good floor jack, some basic tools and wd-40. You probably should buy new leaf springs.

While we're on the topic, do you know where to get new replacement leaf springs cheap? Stock height?

If you want cheap go to the jy. But you still have a few options: you can get some good ones from the jy maybe do a bastard pack, or add leaves to the one you already have, also you could get real better shackles, or a combination of all. It all depends if you want stock height or a bit more.

I'm looking for new stock leaf packs, I found a site and it's $250 shipped, is that a good deal?

I would let the front drop in then give it hell. My 1st time out I hit one at 20 to 30 MPH and blew my motor up. I won't do that again!
