stock shackle bolt is hitting my trailer hitch bracket every time i hit a bump it squeak or bangs really aloud. Im worried it will bend the leaf spring bolt. I was thinking i could just add extended shackles but i dont have a sye only a 1 inch t-case drop. will it be okay or will i need a new drive shaft?!

its almost hitting without even being compressed.

Well... I would turn the bolt around, how it is stock i believe.
Requires dropping leaf and shackle and put it all back together.

thts the other side. and i measured the head of the bolt and it will still cause the same problem. so i guess im gonna get shackles that are an inch higher

You put the bolt in backwards thats not the factory way they put it in

I recommend longer shackles and/or HDOR (or other) shackle relocators

Also didn't state lift size, just guessing 4.5". So if you have a full pack, trade for someone with a 3" pack and put a longer shackle in... Plenty of options.
