Since we need to cut off the rivets to get the factory spring hangers off, why can't we just drill some new holes in the frame and re mount them higher using some grade 8 bolts? It seems to me like there is room to move them up 2" easy?

When I get around to it that was my plan to drill out the rivets and remount the hangers up a couple of inches.
