But won't that just push the carrier further up the strut? It's 1/2" up too far already.

Not sure exactly what you're describing here. You know of a discussion/video where this (ratcheting) is demo'd? (I'd search, but I don't even know how to word the search parameters. There's not even agreement as to what to call that plate—"triangular plate"? "Rear transmission pan cover"? "Chassis reinforcement plate"?)
