Default lifting shackles and tires

i have a 3 inch body lift with 31s. i want to get 32 inch super swampers on it. im going to do a T bar crank and longer shackles. but i was hoping to get 2 or 3 inches out of the shackles because my front is already a little higher. think its ok to get a 1 1/2 inch shackle and weld a extension to it? also how wide of tires should i get to go on that? 10.5 or 11.5? any info will really help me

Check out 3leaf. They sell 1.5, 2, and 3 inch shackles. Just what you need.

Im pretty sure someone on the site makes shackles for people. If you do some searches you will eventually find him. I cant remember who it was but I found him through a search before.
