They don't exist, unless you alter the angle of the shackle position on its hanger(which I definitely wouldn't recommend). He is misinformed. There isn't enough room underneath the bed to run a 3" shackle. I would say at most you could fit a 2.25" shackle, but no one makes such a thing that I know of except blitzkreig.

The problem isn't so much that you can't build a shackle 1" taller, but an inch taller shackle won't equal a 1" lower truck. You're lowering one mounting point of the leaf spring and not the center of the leaf spring so in essence you'd need about a 2" taller shackle to drop the truck a full 1".
