With a 1" lift standard shocks will be fine. I'd suggest getting new U bolts and bushes too.
Not actually sure what you mean by "shackle towers"???

Think he just means big shackles, rather than shackle reversal towers

Try midland road springs or Owens Springs?

Could always try to just find some 2" lift springs for the rear and do a rears up front conversion.
