hi,, im running missing link/drop shackles,, they dont give any lift, but they give more articulation.. i think if your looking for more height, add a leaf is your cheapest bet. plus it seems extended shackles cause a lot off oversteer.

they probably won't help your problem TBH matey! i've got a load of old leaf springs lying around so perhaps we could make up a new pack for you with a bit more life in them than the ones you are running! then you could just go back to standard size shackles!
