I think the 2" will get me either right on or close. It rides fine as it is right now. I will also upgrade the wheels/tires, for 1/2" to 1" more lift.
Here are some pictures. My thought is grind off the lip on the factory hangers, bolt up the new hanger extenders, and then weld the edges together once bolted up. My only concern is the factory hanger hole where the bolt goes through is slotted (same as the bottom slot of the aftermarket hanger) but there is no cam to hold it in place. I think the welding will take care of that.
