Yes, you can lower it while on the vehicle with the method you listed.
Just tell the alignment shop to set it to maximum caster before they do any adjustments. The front cams go all the way inward and the rears all the way outward, moving the tire as far forward as possible (this gives max caster), then they'll set the toe and camber from there, leaving it with as much caster as possible.

I was able to lower the lift a bit without much trouble.
Tires off, unhook sway bar for some room and then some brute force.
Dropped it down to about a 2.25" lift.
It seems to ride noticeably better.
Got it aligned this morning - this time with the local lift and lowered expert and he could not get the passenger side dialed in.
Driver 3.9 caster and all set, but Passenger 2.7 caster
Didn't want to leave that much differential so had to bring the driver back.
After messing with everything for a while, he was able to leave a little camber on Passenger and get them close.
Camber .1 & .3
Caster 3.0 & 2.9
Toe .08 & .08
These aren't bad numbers, but I am confused with the difference in Driver and Passenger.
Any ideas?
Could I have done something wrong with UCA install... bent something... some trucks are just different... ?
