doing the shackle flip in the rear will give you 4" of lift unless you make your own, then you can get it down to just 2" of lift. since you have no body over the mount you could make it so the flip provides you with no more lift, but that is going to be one tall hanger.

4" of lift-the frame mount of the shackle stays in the same location, just cut the underside of the mount, strengthen it, and bolt in the shackle again now upside down.

2" of lift-where the leaf spring side of the shackle is resting currently is where the frame mount goes to.

0" of lift-never seen or heard of it being done, would put the frame mount of the shackle a few inches above the frame.

clear as mud?

If you reuse the stock hanger, you have to cut the hell out of it, and it's kind of iffy when you're done.

Get the DIY4x kit, cheaper than ORD, same effect.

I used the stock hanger on my old rig. You do have to cut alot out but I just boxed the upper porsion and it was fine. I never had any problems but better yet it was free!!
