As you are effectively spacing the trailing arm, what does this do to your UJ angles on the rear prop?

Also, with a 4" lift, how close is the A frame balljoint to binding?

Finally, do your dis/relocation cones work?

Finally, do your dis/relocation cones work?

Well I was looking under a mate's RR with 5" of lift and the trailing arms are swinging forwards so that the diff points upwards, reducing the axle uj angle but making it unvbalanced with the box end.  I suggested he moved the triangle plates ahead of the chassis outriger to completely straighten the axle UJ (then fit a Cardan joint) as this is a popular mod in the 'states.

However this gizmo looks pretty effective on your motor and at that price quite cheap too.  All he needs now is a wide-angle prop and they are relatively cheap.

BTW that balljoint thing, start by looking how distorted the rubber bellows is with the car on the ground, you may want to compare it to another joint that's off the car.  Obviously the biggest problem is when you are cross-axled (as above) or high-centred.

I'm thinking about having a new rear A frame fabricated from steel, though that's more about saving weight.

give my mate at lrs a call they are about 130 for trailing arms. They do look like they work well those plates though...

I paid Gwenn Lewis about the same for my trailing arms.  They look like they will withstand a nuclear blast and certainly be the last part of the car to need replacing now.  I went as thick as possible after seeing Sootyat whaddon.
