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"+1.5"+ spring pack height" = your lift" I don't believe you'll get to 4" without a spring change.

im totally cool with more lift vs less than expected lol usually they say like for the GX it was 3" lift. but to me i hardly notice, seems more 2. id rather expect 4 and get 5.5 and then another 2 from switching to 35s

3 corners are done. Rear sway bar? Useless. Now to plan where the rear shocks will go lol my uncle is an engineer and he came over and said I can use his shop to put some fat solid welds on this when om done tacking it up so ill drag it to his place and weld it solid. I really didnt expect my 31s to look like hotwheels tires but oh well. It could be worse. Lol if someone would buy my stocks i can swap on the new wheels and 35s

shoot, thats about 40 degrees too much. i require the cold, it barely hits 100 here, and its been maybe 4 or 5 times the whole summer so far this year. we usually have a good month of 100-105 and thats usually when im at the lake trying not to die.84, it don't get better than that.
