Need to raise rear, Help.

Hey guys just finished working on the rear suspension of my truck. I had shackles and hangers on and just today switched out the stock leafs for some hotchkis leafs and swapped out the belltech drop shakles for the stock ones.

I was hoping by switching out the belltech shakles for the stock ones i would regain the lost height from the leafs but i was wrong.

My truck is sitting too low in the rear and is bottoming out way too much. How can i raise the rear without swapping back for the stock leafs? I currently have drop hangers and hotchkis leafs. Please help, thanks.

put the stock hangars back on, or replace them with some that have an adjustable range.

how much drop do the hangars alone give you?

i believe the hangers alone are about a 2 inch drop not exactly sure though. Does anyone know if anybody makes an adjustable hanger? If not does anyone have some stock hangers in good shape laying around?

Is it hitting the bump stops or is it lower than the front?
