AlphaDogg, A longer stem is going to mess with fitment, unless you need a longer stem leave it as is.
Place the RD on the outermost gear, disconnect the cable, pull the cable from the brake lever far enough to clear the housing's trim cut, cut and square the new end of the cable and ream the interior with a finishing nail or old spoke, reconnect cable to the RD, attach a new cable cap and that's that. Do not use diagonal cutters.
