If they're black stamped steel about 3/16" thick you have stock ones. Anything else is aftermarket. They're usually 1/4" flat bar or thicker if they're aftermarket.

Shackles are not a very good method of lift. They have a bad affect on pinion angles and caster angle, they lift only half of the difference in shackle length, and the decrease approach and departure angles.

Consider installing TJ fender flares and maybe a 1" body lift for 35" and 36" tires.

Stock shackles are generally 4" hole to hole and look like the pic below.
