1/2 ton stock rear shackle length

[DB59]

wondering what the stock length of the stock shackle is. I bought a project that has lowering shackles, and i want to flip the rear and run stock shackles. want to go down another 4".
Right now the shackles are 6" center to center of the bolts.

wanted to get the DJM flip kit as its only a 5" drop and if stock shackles are around 4" it would match my 3" drop springs that are going in.

Wdym length? Like, how long the pivoting arm on the leaf is(one side solid, one pivots, im guessing thats the shackle). Like the length of drop it provides?

Drill new holes and cut the extra length off - or don't cut it if the shackles don't hit the bottom of the bed.
