That would work fine. Aftermarket pieces use the same. I don't think 3 or 4 turns would lower it a half an inch. Make sure you take the measurements at the frame (not the body).
Just take out the cotter pin, take the load off the spring and backout the castle nut to see what you're after. If you only turn it 3 or 4 threads you may have enough thread left to put on another nut to "lock it" without removing the castle nut at all.
Yes, I think you're a worry wart.
I know, I did exactly the same thing. I have the aftermarket bolts ( I wanted to lower the car) and the left nut is at different height from the right.
The goal is to have the frame level. If you have the means make the adjustment with each corner weighed on a scale.
