3/8" will be fine. for every 1" of lift you need youll have to make the shackle 2" longer. so if you want 2" of lift your shackle will have to be 8" long its also a good idea to put a cross brace between the two sides for added support.

Yeah, just use some 3/8" by 1" to 1.25" wide flat iron to make up the straps then use some 1x1 box tubing to make the cross piece.

8" is the right length then?
#5
yes if you want 2" of lift youll need to make the new shackles 8" long.
