For a good estimate opf your proper shackle length measure the length of you spring eye to eye along the entire arc.  Then measure the distance in a straight line from front spring mount hole to rear shackle mount hole.
Subtract the frame measurement from the spring measurement to get shackle length.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
