I've been digging around and am looking for some recommendations on a set of bar risers that give about a 2" lift and 3" pullback from stock utilizing the stock bars on my Bob. Any links/suggestions are welcome!

I hadn't seen any but some shops can make custom risers for you. I installed 3" riser extensions on my FXFBS and that brought the bars up and closer due to the angle of the tree. With the pull back on the stock risers, it was plenty and made the riding position much more comfortable.
Rule of thumb, 4" does not require wiring extensions nor longer cables.
Youre only adding another 2", anything above needs addressed, unless something changed over the years...*grinz
Where did you get those from? Did you have to swap cables etc too?
I got mine from CJ Motorsports. Bitchen seat co. has some as well. No cable or line swaps needed. Everything had enough slack to go up 3" on the FXFBS. If you have the FXFB then I've heard the 2" or 2.5" is the max you can go but I don't know for sure.
Mine is also the FXFBS so hopefully that's good enough. How hard was it to remove the stock studs?
Not hard at all. The nuts came off mine and the studs were stuck in the risers. I used vice grips on the studs and got them right out. They were pretty corroded.
You will have to pull out the rubber grommet and pull out some slack for the wires from under the tank as well but install was simple and didn't take long at all. My brake line was a bit tight but it wasn't bad.

This is one of the reasons I add a very thin film of synthetic caliper grease to my bushings.
