Progress...
Over Christmas time I had a few days to work on this! I fit the new upper control arms, checked wheel/tire fitment, measuring for ride height, and a few other things like full suspension travel.
Shown is a 245/45-17 on a 17x8 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. My original ride height is 15 inches measuring from the center of the wheel to the lower edge of the wheel opening. The new suspension is about 2.5 inches lower with the lower control arm set to horizontal. This will allow about 4.5 inches of upp travel before the tire contacts the inner fender.
I can also set the caster at 7 degrees, with no contact between the tire and wheel lip checking lock to lock.
I love it when a plan comes together.
