Correct. I've done this on Peyote. The TR6 upper A arms are offset to
accommodate the 3.5 degrees of caster. The caster is built into to the
trunnion, and of course the TR6 ball joint is different than the TR3/4 in
that it is bolted to the A arm instead of having an integral threaded stud.

To make the change, I believe you have to change the upper A arms, upper 
ball joints and the trunnions.
