You will be way ahead of the game by cutting the hangers off and welding the square tubing to the frame. Then re install the hangers with a 1 1/2” tube welded perpendicular to the frame from hanger to hanger. You accomplish the height issues along with the frame flex you will get when turning sharply.
As I stated in my second post this is what I did on my current trailer. Would like to keep it more simple if possible, and that's why considering blocks. At the time I did the modifications on my trailer Lippert would not warranty the frame if any welding to the frame was done unless their technician did it.
The Correct Track system concerns me. Adding extra length to hangers puts too much stress on them. There is an interesting video on YouTube showing the stress this system generates while going down the road.
I've read lots of good and bad comments about blocks but I'm having a hard time understanding why 2" or less blocks would be an issue. If it were used on an axle that experienced a lot of torque, such as a vehicle drive axle, I could see why it would eventually fail. On a trailer the only torque would be from hard braking.
