Default 2 or 2 1/4" Long Shackles

My apologies in advance for this odd request, I'm trying to find the source of a 2" or 2 1/4" long (bolt-to-bolt, not width) shackle. I believe the 42-48 fronts are close to this size but don't have any on-hand to measure...hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

(And yeah, I know I could easily have some made to my specs...just trying to find a factory match)

46-8 rears are 2 3/8". If you can't find any local to you I have a set of NORS available, just PM me in that event.

Will 2" allow clearance between the perch and spring?

In this application it's not a concern. Long story...trying to recreate a suspension setup on an old dry lakes car.
