Default Extending Fence Posts

I am replacing the panels on my fence because of rot and lack of
integrity (1 x 3 cross pieces). It is currently 4' tall and I am
installing 6' panels. The posts are cemented in and in good shape - I
would like to keep them. They are on 8' centers. What would be the best
method for adding 2'+ to the posts? I was thinking I could toe nail
(least desirable) but I could also use some square metal brackets on 2
sides (not bad) or several wood dowels (time consuming - there are 45
posts). I think the best and cleanest install would be to use (if it
exists) a screw that is threaded on both ends. With a couple pilot
holes I could screw into the extension and then twist the whole unit
onto the existing post. The panels have 3 cross pieces and since 1
would fall on the extended piece it should keep it from ever twisting.

My question is what would be the best option as far as stability, ease
of installation and aesthetics (in that order I think). If my screw
option is the best - do those exist and what would they be called? Does
anyone have a online resource for that stuff? Are they made big enough?

Thanks!
Ian

There are lots of different metal brackets for posts in Home Depot. I'd
look for a sleeve type "coupling" or perhaps a couple angle brackets (two
per post)
Another option would be to splice them. But your double ended screw might
just do the trick.

First, any way you connect the extensions to the existing posts will be
obvious.
Different color due to weathering of the existing post.
Different width size due to shrinking of the weathered posts.
The dowels must be exactly in the center of the posts and exactly plumb.

The best way is to cut off the old posts at the base and install
galvanized metal post anchors to the stump, then install posts to the
anchors.
