Could you clarify that a bit for the less informed?

This truck has two drive lines, with a carrier baaring midway.
If I raise the truck..I have to turn the axle a bit?

You are a machinist. Make a tapered block to fit between the axle and
the spring (axle IS mounted unde the spring, right?) and another
spacer to drop the hangar bearing half the distance.
You are then spreading the change in angle over 3 joints instead of 2.
Four inches should be no problem at all.
