Lowering Shackles

Hey Guys/Gals, I wanted to lower the rear of my 82 shortbed. I just need 1-2 inches lower to match the front. I have seen shackles, but am trying to visualize how they would work. The front of the leaf is in a frame bracket enclosed on top, and the rear one has a shackle from the frame bracket upwards about 2-3 inches to the leaf. Any ideas? Also looking for a cheap posi rear end, she'll do the one-wheel-peel for a block. Thanks for any input. I am 35 miles west of Chicago.
