Very good write-up

I am going the same route but will change the stock shocks with the rancho's 9000xl, they are a little bigger than stock (21.75" vs 18.5" in front)

I know for a fact that my caster is off (measured with an angle finder but don't recall off hand what the number was). I've considered the AEV geometry correction kit. My measurement from the top of the spring seat to the frame was right at 6.5". Does anyone have experience with using that kit to correct the caster?

I installed the AEV brackets and love them. They do hang a little low but pretty stout.
I measured 8-9" iirc so used the center hole. Pinion angle was the same with just lowers. 2* positive is around 4* caster (stock)
