I did a bunch more beveling on the caster plate and got it to sit nice. I can still rotate it anywhere on the axle, but I have it to where the pinion is only going to tilt up a tiny bit. I hate that I am putting so much effort into this lol the last 50 SOAs I did we just cut the perches off, welded the perch I cut off on the opposite side and used the ubolts to locate it and wham bam send it.
Depends on the road and your speed but that's better nothing..

Passenger front corner is done. its tacked. and this is closer to 5.5" of lift rather than 4" but I assume its going to settle a bit. not sure because the leaf is flat, and the shackle is at a prime angle. Unforseen issues are brake lines not long enough, need to find those but all the ones I see say "does not fit 2 line wheel cylinder system" and mine is. Shocks also at full extension are about 1.5" too short to reach (story of my life...) So I have to find the correct ones. high steer kit is in the works as well. I bought a winch plate to mount the winch as well so when that comes I can do that.

Factory pad is 1" +/- below the 3" tube on top of the spring, new pad is 1"+/- on top of 3" tube below the spring.
1"+1"+3"+spring pack height" = your lift" I don't believe you'll get to 4" without a spring change.
