I'm not sure on the size. Inside shackle width will be 3" plus the thickness of your shackle material. Then allow enough extra thread for the nut to fully thread on.

Outside welds look OK but the inside ones look cold, some undercut & not welded at the right angle. I'll guess you welded the inside 1st?
Sorry but being a welder for 18 years, lead hand & always looking at QA (Quality Assurance) does this to me. lol
I'd think about trying to grind off some of that hump on the inner welds & rewelding them, for safety sake at least & then you can get rid of the spatter as well.
Looking good & should look great with a coat of paint or powder coating!
