Mate, ive heard that 2 inch lifts on the 105 give 0 caster and problems, so i would be thinking you have about 2...but to be sure, to be sure, get it checked and then you know what you are looking at....dont get the bushes, they reduce articulation, get the caster plates.

When you want to keep standard castor, it works out to about 1.5 deg of castor correction per 1" of lift. So 6 deg for your 4" lift. For that amount, I think plates are the easiest way to go...

On 3" you can have teh standard diff mounts redrilled to gain about 2.5 degress - I have 3" coils on teh front of my 80 and thats all that was required. You will have either get adjsutable panhards or get your standards relocated(3-4mm front and 4mm rear) though as you will have severly altered that geometry. have a close look and you'll see. :D
