I'm by no means a suspension expert but if you consider your plans to shim the UCA out on the rear stud you do in fact push the wheel forward in the fender but you also create an issue in that now the top ball joint is ahead of the lower and that I believe could cause steering issues. Not only is there caster,camber, and toe in there is another factor called ackerman I cannot explain that but I have had it explained to me and Im thinking by creating two different axis on the UCA and LCR pivot points you may have issues. In looking at mods to center the wheel in the opening I cant help but think moving the complete suspension forward is the best way to accomplish this. I have seen cut and modified CA's but aint no way I'd do it. So Im considering the crossmember relocation as the best way to accomplish the goal. I know that Nate,(Porterbilt) is a busy guy but I would value his input to this situation anyone that can design and build the dropmember with the expertise he has I would think he definitely understands steering geometry. Anyway not to throw cold water on your plans I would sure do some diligent research into this, you have built one of the cleanest rigs on this forum and it would be a shame to create a situation that could possibly prove disastrous you can always build another truck if it gets damaged but you cant restore or replace your body!
