Does raising the rear, for more tire clearance, change the pinon angle?  Also, does it mess with the alignment?
Thanks

Yes and Yes.

As long as you don't get crazy with it, it shouldn't impact pinion angle enough to cause a problem.

It does cannibalize your caster, which negatively impacts high speed stability and your on-center feel. Mopars are already challenged for optimum caster.

I'm installing an Altr-K, on this build.  So I'll just wait to have the front end aligned, until the end.  I only need about 1-2 inches.  I figure I'll machine a new, longer front shackle, that should give me the lift I need.  Plus, be outa sight.
Thanks for the info.
