There is no reason to tilt a Caddy, the front frame is already pretty level, unlike a vic thats pointed up.
On a 5/6 Caddy that has some kind of 10" or longer bumper bracket, the weak link will be the passenger front frame behind the A arm where the passenger side steering box *could* go.

“Gosh darn European model, I don’t know why there are 2 boxes with pins through the frame Mr. Tech guy, I swear I didn’t put it there “

But looking at options I’d keep driveline as low as possible, sway bar won’t help unless you can burn it in the little U form in the bottom of the horns.

Caddy uppers with Vic spindles will get you more height than old iron Fords.

70’s fords are only beneficial when you can get creative with how you mount. 80’s vic are the way to go spindle wise, uppers just depend on rules. Get creative with what you’re allowed to do
