Just food for thought, if you want to unload your left rear wheel to make it turn better......why put all kinds of weight on the left side? I personally don't think 4" offset is the way to go! IMPO.

40% front 60% rear weight bias is a great starting point. build everything and get a weight and then choose your engine placement to equal that %. 4 bathroom scales under ech wheel on a level surface does the trick

Un loading the left rear is done by simply adding more left front castor.
