modifying 12" lift

I wanna go from my 12 to a 16" lift and i was talking to a guy on here, but seems like he doesnt get on much. He said that they used fabtech rear hangers and blocks. what exactly is a "rear hanger" and how big of a block can you put in the back? i don't want anything that will make it unstable because this is a daily driver. he also mentioned something about adjusting the "castor" on the front? what would that be. any help is appreciated.

If you want to get extreme you are most likely going to have get custom work done. Trade in leafs for coilovers and ladder bars. Do you have a pic of your current set up??

You Castor/Camber is how your tires lean. when the top is leaning in thats your castor and when they lean out thats Camber or vice versa. like /--\ or \--/ when u lower it they point in and when you lift they point out. if you have front shocks you need Castor/Camber plates but Leafs it depends on what front axle you have..
