You’re moving the axle away from the frame in both instances. On a 4 link you normally buy adjustable lower control arms. Lengthening them will bring your caster back positive if the uppers do not change length.
On a radius arm setup you normally lower the rear mount down to bring caster back positive. There are also after market arm setups which have adjustment with the latter being the same idea as a 4 link.

Thought the radius arm pivots and the 4 link keeps it more or less parallel? Maybe the factory arms are way diff lengths, that would account for some pivot.
Not trying to talk D out of anything, just wondering if I'm thinking right.

Is it 4 link or radius arm? Radius yes, 4 link no, or so I understand.

When you raise the front end, the axle mount beams or control arms or whatever they are now pointed down a little, so that pulled the caster out of there that I need to track straight down the highway.

Been looking for wheels as we do the other stuff. Stock 15x7 have almost a 6in BS for gosh sakes! We want 15x8 and if they are 4in BS and we use the 1in adapter we get about what we want. PPL on FB just say its off a jeep or cherokee, there are so many diff setups for that and lug patterns.
1 set was sold before I got there (good ol FB) and the others I'm looking at now he won't give the BS (see above).

Why an alignment? Solid front axle and no changes?
Don't remind me about the yard! I need pretty much all new grass since the leaves never got raked up last year, I mean why have kids!!!

I did a bunch of yard work after the truck work. This time of year I am at the plant beds almost every day. Burning weeds, trimming bushes and trees, grass cutting 2.5 acres, and cutting in the beds...Whew!

Chore, thought it was fun? Almost can't tell there are 2 dogs there, spot above the nose gives and eye is about it.
Glad the bags aren't leaking, some you don't have to think about now.
At least it has a solid axle, IFSs are worse.
Yeah, glad I don't have to revisit those bags. The alignment is tomorrow, then I'll get to the front bumper. That may take a bit longer. I'm thinking of welding in a winch mount before I install it. I was thinking I may want a winch to pull trees off the trail for when we get off-road with it.
