Do you have a drill, measuring tape, drill bits, and a hacksaw?
I'm spoiled with a drill press and band saw but it only took me 20 minutes to make mine out of some 1/2 inch thick (way overkill and x2 thickness of most good ones) plate I had laying around. Just remember its 2 inches added to the center to center of the holes for 1 inch of lift you want. So example the factory shackle is 4 inches C2C and you want 2 inches of lift your new measurement is gonna be 8 inches C2C.
