Default What shackles to use with Crown HD leaf springs?

Since I am essentially in the process of rebuilding my whole front suspension, I plan on doing the back in the coming months. I don't really want a big lift since it's my daily, and my rear leaf springs have pretty much **** the bed. I ordered Crown's HD leaves for the back since I've read you can get 1-2" over stock height, but that they are slightly shorter from what I've read so the shackle angle is bad for ride quality. Any suggestions on a replacement/aftermarket shackle to improve the angle, or is the only real way to get shackle relo brackets? Trying to keep this on a budget, but not trying to buy garbage parts. I plan to also run somewhere between a 1"-1.75" lift block in front, depending on the amount of lift I gain out back.

Any help would be great
