As requested, pictures!
It's a full 9" from top to bottom. The depth is 2 1/8". Couldn't get a good angle with the flash for the width.
Tomorrow if you'd like I can try to get in there better and take full measurements of everything... Hole placement, material width, etc.

FWIW, I recently bought a pair of longer shackles on Amazon for about $51 with free shipping. If I recall correctly, they are 2 inches longer than stock for about an inch of lift. I haven't installed them yet, so no confirmation on the actual amount of lift I get. They are in a box with a bunch of other stuff I'm compiling for a spring time suspension revamp (too cold here now). I consider myself a do-it-yourselfer also, but couldn't justify the effort on making my own set when I can buy them done for about $50.

No worries, the front hangers can be changed also if desired. Not as easy as shackles.
