Does this look like a 2" or 1" rear shackle?

Recently discovered the shackles and cut bed support on my truck, first picture is the shackle I found on there, and the second is a comparison of the stock shackle on Claytona08's truck compared to mine. Anyone know how to tell if it's a 1" shackle or a 2"??

thanks in advance!!

Home made attack of the factory shackle.
Find your length bolt hole to bolt hole. Find factory length. Find difference in length. Divide by 2. That is how much drop was achieved.
