No idea what the length is on the stock chevy shackle, but it will fit. If you want lift (1.5-2") you need the belltech 6400 chevy lowering shackles.

Ok because i would think that the stock chevy ones are even longer and would give more lift ?

Chevy shackles are mounted upside down compared to rangers so the chevy lowering shackle is longer than the stock one. I bought mine [belltech 6400] locally for about C$80.00. You can probably find them cheaper in the states.

I bent the heck out of my Belltech's. I wouldnt recommend them. Powerstoker over on BroncoII has some different aftermarket lift shackles that were from a XJ. They were a direct bolt on and are made from 1/4". Those are next on my list!
