Oh, man, I hate to have to say it, but you gotta do a search about this...we just had a couple page thread about it.  You should find it and read through it...should answer all your questions plus pictures.

Everyone has been guilty of not searching at one point.....Cut 'em a break

I used the stock chevy shackle  inbetween my 2nd shackle and the hanger, and made my 2nd shackle 5 1/2" eye to eye. Anything around there will work out pretty well. I know a lot of people don't like doubles, and a lot of people do. So its up to you and hopefully it helps if you do use them.

On my F150 Spring swap I just used a stock F150 shackle along with mye 6" shackles and just used the stock mounting location. Here is a pic:

This is what I did. These are stock legnth (47") 4 inch lift springs with a dual shackle set up.
