Rear spring shackles
I pulled this Dana 60 out of an old F 250 Bump at least I think it was an F 250
I don't see any reference of these.
Is this part of a trailer towing package or camper special?

Those are progressive Flexo-matic springs which equipped a lot of bumps.

Yep
Those are an ingenious design and they do make a difference over standard shackles. But the complexity outweighed the benefits, so they were eventually discontinued.
They came Standard on F-250, and were optional on F-100
