Since I'm making the rules (sure is nice to have POWER)     :-)
I'd make 1/2" longer shackles about a -5%--not much effect compared to 4
or 6" longer.  I'd say the those with the H reinforcement would have only
1/2 the penalty of unreinforced shackles.  For your 1/2" extension,
they'd probably be better than stock, but I'm not going to get into
quadratic equations to figure this thing out.  

If Jethro can't cipher it out, we aren't doin' it!
