Front strecthing questions

I am getting ready to do a SOA on my Jeep. We were looking at the front and thinking about stretching it. Nothing crazy just around two inches. We would take the front spring hanger and bring it all the way to the very front of the frame and then move the rear the appropriate amount. For those that have done this did you make your own new spring hangers that you welded on the frame or are there ones available for purchase at a reasonable price? Making a hanger should not be too difficult but sometimes buying them is a lot less hassle.

you could always go with waggys up front for about 2" stretch

if your worried about bending do an extra main or buy alcans
