Can you use shackles on the front and rear of rear leaf springs ?

no
not on both ends
the reason is obvious
the shackle allows the length of the spring to alter from bumps and loads
there is a fixed eye at one end and that positions the axle to maintain alignment
now if you had a shackle at both ends then the axle would be allowed to move out of alignment and cause handling problems
On tandem axles , the shackles are on the center pivoting bridge section but the other ends are still fixed eyes

My 91 toyota 4x4 single cab no matter how much i spend or repair it pulls right bu

Check the brake rotors up front for bluing or spalling, you may have had pads replaced, but if a caliper gets stuck so it cannot move in relation to the abutement it is bolted to, or a piston is not fully retracting, this can cause that as well,

Also take a look at the rear springs- the shackles, where the shackles mount to the frame and the spring leaves- you may have broken main leaf which if broke a certain way, could allow the rear axle to shift it's orientation to the rest of the vehicle. Also look to see if the frame is twisted- it is a boxed frame, but it is soft.

If you have power steering, put the front wheels up in the air and block the rear wheels so it does not fall off, then start the vehicle and see if the steering will allow you to steer from stop to stop with one finger. If it has a power steering valving issue, it will show up by spinning the wheel out of your control until it hits the stop.

If the alignment is truly that bad, or the vehicle has been in an accident, you will see odd wear patterns across the tires. Getting what is called a "thrust alignment" or "4 Wheel" alignment will make the vehicle drivable.

Replacing front shackle 1983 jeep cj7

Shackles are pretty straight forward. Remove the existing bolts, change the shackles and reverse the procedure to install. Good idea to change the bushings while you're in there if they are at all questionable. It's best to do this with the CJ in the air, supported on the frame and use a floor jack under the axle to lift/lower the spring in/out of the shackle, one side at a time.

Replacing rear shackles on ford explorer, any tips?

Biggest tip is make sure you have a good floor jack to support the end of the spring so you can pull the bolts out easily and then reposition springs to lign up then new shackles and re bolt everything.
