You basically have a 3.5" lift on the front, with LCA's designed for a 2" lift.
Your caster is out, period.
No, you can't compare it to a 1.5" puck lift over stock. The higher you go, the faster things get out of whack.
To get correct caster you're going to need either adjustable LCA's or correction brackets.

You also should get either shock extension brackets, or longer shocks. Your Fox shocks were designed for a 2" lift, not a 3.5" lift. You have changed the range of travel and it could well affect things such as steering and stability.

Thank you. I have got the correction brackets on hand. Now I just need to school myself on how to measure the caster and determine if I am using the longer LCR's or the stock ones to get the right angle.
