I don't think cutting the c bushing wedges can be done alone. If you rotate the pinion up by moving c wedges you will reduce caster. Likely needs to rotate the pinion up enough to resolve his issue that the caster will be negative and unsafe. I would try 7 degree bushings in reverse to raise the pinion and then check caster at ride height. Then cut and turn the ball joint end pieces.
^...Just different terminolgy to reference the same part.
The outter C structure IS the outter most structure that holds the ball joints. Often refered to as "outter or inner" C structure, because they are C shaped. Not to be confused the wedges where the bushings go...totally different.
7 degree bushings do gain you some better Caster numbers -and so long radius arms, but the big lift and 7 degree bushings also ruin your pinion angle, these two angles fight each other.
Anything around 5" of lift on a Bronco coil-spring Dana 44 and the best method to solve this issues is cut and turn.
And the axle tubes are pess fit into the 3rd member and nearly imposible to cut free w/ any accuracy. There are a couple of rossette welds that look harmless enough, and easy to think "I'll just cut the 3rd member loose", rotate it up a little, or choose to say rotate the axle tubes down a little,....but in reality its nearly imposible to make this work and get it all put back together w/o leaking seals and a screwed up front end that's imposible to align. If this method did work it would really simplify the whole process.
I'm really shocked that someone w/ a nice fab shop, like Duff, hasn't taken on this task and offer exchange front Dana 44 housings for folks w/ 5"+ lift.
