I had extended shackles and 2" lifted springs, and with the RUF in with a 2" dropped hanger it has lifted it an inch or so. Depends on the spring combo you use and whether or not you go the dropped hanger ec

is a dropped hanger essential? or could i get away with the original mounts?

A dropped hanger helps with sector shaft nut clearance with the top leaf when using high steer. It also helps correct the caster and driveshafts angles due to extended shackles.

I used 5 degree wedges when using extended shackles and 2" lifted springs. Was all good.
Depends what your after, you can go a 1" dropped if you want.
