That still looks like a lot of caster...

The coilover upper mount in the first pic looks sketchy.

Those pics were sent by my welder todays progress, i will see my truck tomorrow to see how does it looks.
I was told to use 88 degree sides and 68degrees toward frame with the suspension.

This is not my truck, this is a guide only.

88' and 68' in reference to what? Is this with the truck flat and level? Or is it off of a reference point off of the chassis? Just make sure you comparing apples to apples and you know when the measurements were made from.
Trying to help, you've been working hard to get the kit on I'd hate to see something got welded on wrong from not knowing a starting point.

As far i know is a reference having the truck flat level.
I got the upper shock mount measurement
I got measurement of suspension bottomed
Got measures of suspension full extended
With the truck leveled as you have seen on pics lately how my truck is

I m doing what everything possible to make the installation complete.

FIY - the recommended spec range for caster is 4.0 - 4.3. You are almost double that.

In order to get that close, i will have to move brake pump and bent pipes then.

I think that is a small price to pay for it to handle like it is supposed to. It wouldn't be that hard to make a new bracket to hold the pump.

But, your truck, your call.
