Default 2.5" shackle lift

i want to know if 2.5" inch or bigger rear shackles exist. as near as i can tell having them that big cant really hurt too much. and i would like if i could get between 2.5 and 3 inches of shackle lift so i could do two inch bigger springs in the front. if anyone knows a company it would be appreciated

i did this to mine. i went to autozone and they have shackle lowering kits for a chevy and gmc pickups fits perfectly into the from mount and onto the leaf spring cost me about 35 bucks and they have held up great for the past 4 months. just measure the width of the spring and go in with your tape measure and measure it to make sure it in the same width

its starting to look like 2 inch shackles and maybe a small one inch block might be my best bet.
