Question about rear spring shackle

Anyone have a source for a longer rear shackle for 1951 F1?
Like maybe a 5-6 inch in lieu of 3 inch standard.

If you're swapping in a newer 9" rear end the best set up if from a F-2, I've been told they fit the 9". I have a set for when I ever do the swap.

Thank you for the response.
That sounds good, except where can I get a set of them? Any ideas?

Do a search of this board. There have been plenty of discussions of using other parts to mount a 9". I think someone mentioned using Jeep parts or using shock mount from an aftermarket seller.
